Leave usernotes without a post or comment reference

Allow leaving usernotes on users for a specific subreddit even if there isn't activity for that user in the subreddit in question. Useful when dealing with users who delete their posts/comments to try and hide negative history.

As it came up again the most straightforward solution would be to add a context menu action to user profiles for user notes. This after clicking will first trigger an UI element asking for the subreddit and an optional context url after which it will load the usernote popup with the information provided.

Some things to be aware of:

• Seperate popup for the extra information or do we adjust the usernotes popup to do this?
• We probably need validation the context url otherwise it will break here. This has my preference tbh. Alternative approaches:
  • Don't give access to the context url and simply make it the user profile link.
  • We could actually make the logic a bit smarter and allow any url that is valid and instead of putting it into the the intermediate step give users access to it by default in the regular usernotes UI. Would be neat but also is slightly problematic as it can now link to anywhere and also opens up the possibility of people putting in ridiculously long URLs filling up usernotes quickly.
