Send more data to Akismet

[cfinke]

Currently, calls to Akismet only include user_ip, user_agent, permalink, comment_content, and comment_author. Ideally, they should also include referrer, comment_type, and comment_author_email.

comment_author_email is probably the most important one. A blank comment_type is assumed to be "comment", but it should probably be "forum-post" for new threads and "comment" for replies to threads.

sounds fair

according to this: https://blog.akismet.com/2012/06/19/pro-tip-tell-us-your-comment_type/

forum-post Forum posts and replies.

which mean both topics and posts should be send as forum-post

~Also, since when blog is required? https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check~ strike that. I'm an idiot, the module takes in the blog as a constructor option.

That post predates some work I've done on differentiating new forum posts from replies to posts, and the advice in it is still ok, but sending comment for post replies is now marginally more effective. I'll update the post.

Seems like referrer, comment_type and comment_author_email are added
