Issue:
Support --filter-mode=[file/nofilter] in github-pr-review
GitHub has introduced [a new feature that allows commenting files in a pull requests](https://github.blog/changelog/2023-04-11-commenting-on-files-in-a-pull-request-is-now-generally-available/) by [Create a review comment for a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/comments?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-review-comment-for-a-pull-request). With this feature, it's now possible to comment on a file displayed in the diff context, even without specifying a line number.

With this new enhancement, could reviewdog support file and nofilter modes in github-pr-review?

 ### Filter Mode Support Table
 Note that not all reporters provide full support of filter mode due to API limitation.
 e.g. `github-pr-review` reporter uses [GitHub Review
-API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/reviews) but it doesn't support posting comment outside diff (`diff_context`),
+API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/reviews) and [GitHub Review
+Comment API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/comments) but these APIs don't support posting comment outside diff file,
 so reviewdog will use [Check annotation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/checks/runs) as fallback to post those comments [1].
