[aur-dev] [PATCH] Do not allow unauthenticated users to delete comments

Since commit fb7bde3 (Add support for anonymous comments, 2014-02-04),
we support comments with no specific author. Add a check to
canDeleteComment() and canDeleteCommentArray() to ensure an
unauthenticated user cannot delete such comments.
