Remove comments UI action any types

[PedroMarianoAlmeida]

Please take a minute to explain the change you're making:

• Why are you making it?
  • apps/comments-ui/src/actions.ts had several explicit any types in action payloads and dispatcher casts. This PR removes them so the action layer is better typed.
• What does it do?
  • Types addReply with AddComment and Comment.
  • Adds optional reply fields (parent_id, in_reply_to_id) to AddComment, matching how reply creation already uses that payload shape.
  • Replaces the SyncActions as any lookup with Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call.
  • Types ActionHandler and SyncActionHandler payloads from the existing Actions / SyncActions maps instead of accepting data: any.
  • Removes adminApi from hideComment and showComment parameter annotations because those functions never destructure or read that argument; they use state.adminApi instead, so deleting the unused parameter type is safe and does not change runtime behavior.
• Why is this something Ghost users or developers need?
  • This reduces untyped action plumbing in comments-ui and catches incorrect action payloads earlier for developers working on comments.

Please check your PR against these items:

• I've read and followed the Contributor Guide
• I've explained my change
• I've written an automated test to prove my change works (NA - typecheck only)

Testing

• CI=true pnpm --filter @tryghost/comments-ui exec eslint src/actions.ts src/app-context.ts
• CI=true pnpm --filter @tryghost/comments-ui exec tsc --noEmit
  • I ran this before and after the changes. It still fails on the documented package-wide baseline in tasks/comments-ui-tsc-types.md, but the after result is cleaner: the previous src/actions.ts errors are gone and actions.ts no longer appears in the failure list.

Walkthrough

AddComment in app-context.ts gains parent_id and in_reply_to_id. In actions.ts, addReply, hideComment, and showComment use narrower payload types, and the dispatch layer adds action-to-payload maps plus generic ActionHandler and SyncActionHandler signatures. The package version in package.json is updated from 1.5.16 to 1.5.17.
