Add REST API documentation for discussions

https://api.github.com/repos/community/community has:

  "has_discussions": true,

And you can visit something like:

https://api.github.com/repos/community/community/discussions/176086/comments

which yields some json like:

[

      "confused": 0,
      "heart": 0,
      "rocket": 0,
      "eyes": 0
    }
  },
...

If you visit https://api.github.com/repos/community/community/discussions/comments/14683292/reactions, you get:

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest",
  "status": "404"
}

https://docs.github.com/en/search?search-overlay-input=discussions&query=discussions&toplevel=REST+API does not yield anything remotely useful.

Additional information

I'm trying to figure out what happened to a comment. I received a notification for it, but when I followed the link from the notification, I get the discussion minus the comment.

I can't tell if @minanagehsalalma wrote it and then deleted it, or something else... the notification url was: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/176086#discussioncomment-16816602

@jsoref I think if this weren't REST it would be a support question, but since it is REST we may as well let the team in charge figure it out. If you want an answer on a timeline, though, I would definitely talk to support.

I don't actually care about the specific instance, at this point I'm only interested in the documentation.
