#28129: Add filter for wp_list_comments() arguments

 The arguments for {{{wp_list_comments()}}} cannot currently be filtered
 and the only way to modify them is by modifying the call in the
 {{{comments.php}}} template file. The problem with this is that if plugins
 add any custom comment types that are not meant to be displayed on the
 frontend, then there is no way of hiding those types from within the
 plugin.

 My initial use cause for this is in
 [http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei/ Sensei] - we add user lesson
 and course data as comments on the plugin's CPTs in order to track
 progress and grades, but these comments all show up on the frontend as
 normal comments in the default WordPress themes because those themes (and
 many others) do not specify the comment type when calling
 {{{wp_list_comments()}}}. However, I'm sure this is something that a
 number of other plugins struggle with.

 My patch for this simply adds a filter to the {{{wp_list_comments()}}}
 arguments, so it will not affect any existing functionality and will make
 core just a little bit more customisable.
