Add disqus integration for commenting.

Hi, this is the maintainer of @staticmanlab, a public GitLab instance of Staicman. Disqus has a plethora of shortcomings that deter many bloggers, say

  1. privacy issues
  2. slow load speed
  3. no markdown support
  4. poor SEO
  5. high cost of migration

You may avoid these problems by switching to static comments powered by Staticman, which makes use of GitHub/GitLab Pull/Merge Requests. Under Staticman's model, static comments are YML/JSON files stored in the remote GitHub/GitLab repo (usually under data/comments, configurable through the path parameter in root-level staticman.yml), and through a static blog generator (Jekyll/Hugo/etc), the stored data are rendered as part of the content. This gives a total ownership of a static site's comments.
