Balázs Orbán df0330f72e chore: add GitHub Action to manage "+1" comments (#52866) ...

### What?

Adds a GitHub Action that automatically marks unhelpful comments as "off-topic".

You can test it by adding off-topic comments to this issue: https://github.com/balazsorban44/next.js/issues/21

https://github.com/balazsorban44/next.js/blob/17e3ec30689a2323161260c9b03bb7f51ed008f9/.github/actions/minus-one/src/index.mjs#L6

### Why?

A common problem is when an issue thread receives "+1" comments, it usually encourages others to do the same. This makes the thread harder and harder for maintainers to read, without adding value to the discussion.

### How?

When an issue receives a comment, we compare it to a list that we determine as off-topic. If it matches, we hide the comment.
