Button to `@` mention in discussion

See original GitHub issue

We could add a button to quickly mention someone. It can either go by the “Edit comment” button or near/below the user/avatar, as such:

Clicking it would instantly @mention the user and focus the comment field, like the <kbd>r</kbd> key does when quoting the selection.

This would also be a solution/replacement for https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/1003 and fix the annoyance caused by show-names (it makes it harder to copy-paste usernames)

Currently we use only such shortcut to mean “click this and all the buttons like this,” it’s not great for discoverability.

I’d rather show the button on hover rather than hide it under a click modifier.

Maybe add this behavior to alt click on username instead of making it a button?
