Public bug reported:

A user can make their comments on a page public, even if the page is set
to require comment moderation, if they create the comment as a private
comment and then change its status to public while editing it.

To replicate:

1. Create a Page for User 1
2. Make the page accessible to the public, and activate comments & comment moderation for the page (this is all under the Sharing tab)
3. Log in as User 2
4. Place a comment on the Page, making sure to untick the "Make public" box so that the comment is private.
5. Click the "edit" icon next to the newly created comment.
6. On the edit page, tick the "Make public" box, and click Save.

Expected result: The comment's status should be "This comment is private
| You have requested that this comment be made public"; and it shouldn't
become public until approved by User 1

Actual result: The comment becomes public immediately after you click
Save on the Edit page.
