Summary
Allows apps to store meta-data information into the comments table. A usecase that exists since a longer time is being able to indicate that a message was sent silently.
For the upcoming "Edit message" we want to store the actor and time information of the last person that edited a chat message, to avoid another database query on every chat request.
While changing the table anyway, I enforced the currently optional reference_id column which talk also relies on.
