Wp-calypso: Pages: show comments in pages view

[alisterscott]

It is possible to see comments against /posts in Calypso:

But there doesn't appear to be any such thing for pages:

Since pages can contain comments as well, could we add comments to the /pages view?

We can add that, but given the UI differences between pages and posts, I think we can include them when we get the new comments section sorted out.

Tested and confirmed that you cannot reach comments for pages via https://wordpress.com/pages

@drw158 @rodrigoi what if we just linked out to /comments from /pages instead of building in a UI within /pages similar to /posts?

Ran into this today during a team meetup: @mcsf was going to force us to use Calypso Reader to comment on ordering our lunch. However, we realized:

1. Can't view pages in Reader.
2. Can't comment on pages via Calypso.

Hi @apeatling — is this on the roadmap for Comments (Triton/Lannister)?
