Add <<code>> tags to the "template" for user comments...

Hey mbed team.

For years, the comment window has had good capability for formatting. Equally for years, so many users have never clicked the "Editing tips" gadget to learn them. The result is that their pasted code is so hard to read that many of us don't bother - and they in turn don't get the help they need.

Instead of the comment window starting out blank, could you seed it with a one strategic pair of tags - the <<code>><</code>> tags?

#include "mbed.h"
// To share your code sample, put it here, between the code tags. 
// Do not put it on the lines with the code tags.
// Click the "Editing tips" gadget at the bottom right of this window to learn more!


The idea, at least, is to make it brainless for users to figure out.
