Disable issue/PR comment button given empty input (#31463)

Given an empty issue/PR comment, the comment history would not be
updated if the user were to submit it. Therefore, it would make since to
just disable the comment button when the text editor is empty.

This is inline with what GitHub does when given empty text editor input.
