Update Successful Direct image upload for comments

Level 6+ Poalrs can now directly submit images in comments with the new Upload button (blue icon) next to Submit - Preview - Cancel (in comment threads)

Uploaded images are automatically added as hyperlinks to the last comment text input area opened.

The major part of this new feature is that it automatically uploads your images to pic8 (which strips off all the EXIF metadata and GPS coordinates) and adds a fallback mirror on Poal in case Pic8 is acting gay (thanks to @picman).

I'm currently beta testing the PM box support and will update that part later.

Thanks to @SoSickOfBlacks for the suggestion:

As usual, clear your browser's cache and leave a comment if you notice anything funny.

lol That's awesome. Just kidding, these are pics I used to test the upload code.

I need to disable it and check what happened.

The (cute) polar bear pic @SoSickOfBlacks just test uploaded was also sent to the comment box of another tab I had left open with the comment box active.

Image name (pic8.co)

EDIT: And this post by @Vastrightwing has had a gif added to its post body: https://poal.co/s/Pharma/665548 Image name (pic8.co)

As it is a link post, I think he can't edit the post to remove the added link as I believe link posts don't have an edit button.

Ah, cool. Glad you knew what those images were and why they were added.

(Now I'm imagining a random pic being added to every comment for April Fools.)
