fix https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-771/add-comments-count-endpoint-to-robotstxt-ignorelist

  • we've seen web scrapers hitting this endpoint a lot, but the value to be taken from it is minimal for SEO purposes
  • adding it to robots.txt should encourage web scrapers to ignore it, and we should see less traffic as a result
