Allow correct plural handling in settings for comments

printf(
__( 'Automatically close comments on articles older than %s days' ),
'</label> <label for="close_comments_days_old"><input name="close_comments_days_old" type="number" min="0" step="1" id="close_comments_days_old" value="' . esc_attr( get_option( 'close_comments_days_old' ) ) . '" class="small-text" />'
);

The string "Automatically close comments on articles older than %s days" ought to be put in _n() to have the translated string correctly reflect the currently chosen number of days. (In Russian, for instance, 21, 22 and 25 days give you different forms of the word "days")

I don't think _n() can be used here. %s is not simply a placeholder for a static number but an input field to set the number of days.

With just _n(), the string would correctly reflect the current setting for when the page was opened. Updating the string on-the-fly I'd see as "overkill".
