Log Message:

Skip forced captcha on high-comment entries less than 30 days old

The 5k-comment captcha threshold was meant to slow bots targeting specific entries, but most spam hits old/abandoned journals while active anon memes are the ones suffering from the forced captcha.

Entries posted within the last 30 days can now receive up to the full 10k comments without a forced captcha. Entries older than 30 days keep the existing 5k threshold. All other captcha triggers (rate limiting, journal settings, spam heuristics) are unchanged.

Also refactors require_captcha_test to accept an LJ::Entry object instead of a bare ditemid, since the entry is already available at all call sites.
