Edit comment - Minimize specific comment with reason

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I have a list of comments retrieved and filtered using something like gh pr view 1 -c --json comments | jq '.', now I want to edit these specific comments to minimize them with a specific reason (Spam, Abuse, Off, Outdated, Duplicate, Resolved).

Specifically this button on the front-end image

I want to do this for moderation in an issue, where currently it's very annoying to hide/resolve/delete multiple comments as each action refreshes the page.

Proposed solution

This would further enhance editing of comments, where currently it's only possible to edit the body, but it's not possible to do mass-actions on multiple comments.

Additional context

I'm imagining something like this:

gh pr comment <id> --minimize hide
gh pr comment <id> --delete

this is related to #1865, #3613 and #6161
