Feature Request: Clean up old comments

[tlkamp]

On pull requests that are in active development, Atlantis comments can become cumbersome and making reading and contributing to other discussions on the same PR difficult. It would be great if Atlantis had a command that cleans up its old comments.

Ideally, something like atlantis prune to manually invoke it. This invocation might delete all but the last comment; something like atlantis prune --last 3 might delete the last three comments, etc.

Thanks!

I would prefer this option. There are hide option for each comment. Would be nice if atlantis set old self comment as hide > outdated.

However there's no API to hide Comment, though.

Dupe of #126 , but it appears there is a graphql API for this now: https://developer.github.com/v4/mutation/minimizecomment/

This would be a big timesaver for us.. repeated plans / applies can really clutter up a PR, so I try to go through and hide old ones manually.. pretty slow going.

Commenting in this thread because this is a big problem for the teams I work on now. A PR with important conversations, comments, requested changes, are being flooded with Atlantis comments and highly disrupting our workflow and the ability of developers to easily follow and track the PR.
