Remove gh {issue,pr} comment prompt #2891

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

When you run gh issue comment or gh pr comment, you get a prompt like:

- Press Enter to draft your comment in vim...

The prompt seems like unnecessary friction to me. I'm guessing it's there so people aren't disoriented when gh suddenly launches vim (or whatever their $EDITOR is), but it's annoying to have to press Enter for it every single time I write a comment.

Proposed solution

Remove the prompt. Maybe add a message like "Opening vim to draft comment"? It may not be visible long enough though.
