Reduce bot comments and hide some bot actions

matmarex/phabricator:reduce-bot-comments into wmf/stable

This stylesheet was previously a user style hosted at https://userstyles.world/style/13140. I'm the only author.

I'm adding it as a separate resource in the hope that this makes it easier to maintain and avoids merge conflicts.

Goals:

  • Make it easier to spot human comments in tasks with a long history of patches and deployments.
  • Preserve the value provided by bot comments.

Features:

  • Restyle comments by gerritbot, CodeReviewBot, and Stashbot using a design that is somewhere inbetween the Maniphest styles for comments and for other timeline items: removing comment box and white background, but allowing multiline content; hiding the bot's username, and moving the bot's avatar to where timeline icons normally appear.
  • Custom styles for each bot to hide redundant parts of their comments, while keeping most of the information visible, and focusing on keeping the links in the comments clickable.
  • Color gerritbot icons blue/green/red depending on whether the patch is new/merged/abandoned.
  • Hide timeline items for gerritbot's and Maintenance_bot's maintenance of the #Patch-for-review tag, and for Stashbot's unintentional mentions of other tasks when multiple patches are deployed at once. Leave small markers in place that reveal them on hover.
