[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] There should be space between paragraphs in changeset comment display (#2022)

[Tom Hughes]

Changeset comments are really intended for brief comments, not essays.

Rendering the amount of text that has been added as comments to that changeset in a sane way would really require a full screen view rather than the current sidebar based solution I fear.

This is also why changeset comments are put through the text renderer, and don't support markup, because trying to render them in a narrow sidebar column wouldn't really work with richer text formatting.

The text renderer is just using the rails `simple_format` routine which does create paragraphs where there is a blank line, so that is working. We could style the paragraphs to add more whitespace but that would just make an already insanely long sidebar even longer!
