feat(comments): lead the Comments heading with the 💬 glyph

The Comments heading rendered the count marker as `Comments 💬 5/18`, with the glyph wedged between the word and the count. I moved the 💬 to the front of the heading, rendering `💬 Comments 5/18`, so it reads as an icon for the section rather than part of the number. `pearl--comment-count-marker` now returns just ` 5/18`, and `pearl--format-comments` leads with the glyph.

The append locator that finds an issue's Comments subtree now tolerates the leading 💬, and still matches the old `Comments 💬 N/N` layout so a buffer rendered before this change keeps working on the next add-comment.
