[reddit] add ability to load more comments (#15)

The 'extractor.reddit.morecomments' option enables the use of
the '/api/morechildren' API endpoint (1) to load even more
comments than the usual submission-request provides.
Possible values are the booleans 'true' and 'false' (default).

Note: this feature comes at the cost of 1 extra API call towards
the rate limit for every 100 extra comments.
