Add mutation to convert note to thread

Heinrich Lee Yu requested to merge 458818-mutation-convert-note into master

What does this MR do and why?

Adds a GraphQL endpoint to convert standard comments to resolvable threads.

Currently, the only way to convert to a thread is to create a reply under a comment, then the parent is automatically converted. We want this explicit conversion for work items because we plan to make standard comments resolvable in work items. See thread in #458818 (comment 2012341797) for more details
