#17714: Comment/pingback handlers don't check whether the post type supports
comments

 wp-comments-post and XML-RPC don't check post type support for comments
 before accepting them - I think they should. We can't rely solely on
 `$post->comment_status` because that may not always be set to "closed"
 even if the post type doesn't support comments (see also #13473)

 Maybe we could add a check to `comments_open()`?
