Represent number of replies as a bar of characters in the 'show replies as list' feature #58

Currently, in said mode, the link that expands the reply list is simply "%d replies". This doesn't help to quickly identify the posts with most replies.

I suggest that there be an option that makes the link a bar of chars instead, one char per reply, like this:

···· ·························· ·

Depending on your liking, the word 'replies' may or may not be present, as may or may not a final digital reply count, ie. ··· (3). I however think the barest version is best.

This way, identification of important posts would be easy.

The character used above is U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT. For best visibility, dots may even be space-separated; posts that would cause line-breaking would be extremely rare either way.

Thank you.

In fact, maybe it would be best to let users enter the bar unit string to repeat, so that it could be multi-char or even multi-line. In absence of a user-provided value, current, non-bar behaviour may be default.
