radicle-cli/issue: Improve comment templating

Writing a comment, only the most recent comment replied to is shown.
Editing a comment, current contents are not prepared. Manual copy required.

To improve:
 - Chase all replies to the root and quote them. Gracefully handle if
   this proces fails, i.e. a comment in the chain cannot be resolved.
 - If editing, copy the current contents.
