Submit an existing pending PR review as a comment or request changes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A pending GitHub review can contain multiple unpublished inline comments. gh-dash currently has no native way to submit that existing review as either non-blocking feedback (COMMENT) or a request for required changes (REQUEST_CHANGES).
Describe the solution you'd like
When the current user has a pending review, provide an action that submits that specific review with either of these outcomes:
- Comment (
COMMENT) — publish the review as non-blocking feedback - Request changes (
REQUEST_CHANGES) — publish the review with fix needed status
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Call GitHub's pending-review submission API directly using the review ID.
- Run
gh pr review --commentorgh pr review --request-changes, accepting that these create a new submitted review instead of submitting the existing pending review.
