feat: comment ID holding both bug and comment reference

Labels: area/bugs kind/feature

I just had a literal shower thought about this.

Instead of concatenating a part of the bug ID with a part of the comment ID, we could interleave them.

That is, instead of doing BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCC with B being a character of the bug's ID and C being a characters of the comment's ID, we could do BBBCBBBCBBBCBBBCBBBCBBBCBBBCBBBC.

This way, the longer the prefix of this ID is, the more information we get about both the bug and the comment.

We could even do an irregular pattern if we want to be able to have meaningful 4+3, 6+3 or 6+4 prefix, while still end up with a nice 30+10 for the full ID:
4+3 BCBCBCB
6+3 BCBCBCBBB
6+4 BCBCBCBBBC
30+10 BCBCBCBBBCBBBBCBBBBCBBBBCBBBBCBBBBCBBBBC
