Title: Added a confidence sort order for comments

Issue 302 - the code calls this a confidence sort, and the UI calls it "best" sort. It was pulled more-or-less verbatim from the Reddit source, and this commit sets it as the default sort order for comments.

I tested it on a set of 3 comments - 40 ups/20 downs; 10/1, and 1/0. It seemed to work as expected.

The linked issue mentions making an explanatory post to the site before it goes live - just so that isn't overlooked.
