Performance: Comments module adds resource hints for unused gravatar domains. #47116

Description

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

In WordPress/wordpress-develop@c1ffe33 for WordPress 6.7, gravatar URLs were updated to always use the secure.gravatar.com domain. This was to avoid redirects from HTTP to HTTPS, with a single domain used because HTTP2 has been around for a while now.

In this block of code the comments module is adding resource hints for the 0., 1. and 2.gravatar.com domains that are no longer used in the rendering of the WordPress comments threads.

'//0.gravatar.com',
'//1.gravatar.com',
'//2.gravatar.com',

Steps to reproduce

Not entirely sure, sorry.

I saw it on a site running Jetpack comments but am unable to reproduce it locally because the module is unavailable in local dev mode.
