Make it possible to set authorName and authorEmail in a comment using office-js.

The only way currently to provide the user a direct experience / suggestion within a word document is to add a comment but it is confusing for the user to see his own name. Currently 

context.document.getSelection().insertComment([string]) takes no author data and comment.set() doesn't accept an object with "authorName" nor "authorEmail". 
 
  • As a developer I should be able to set the author details
  • As a user I want to see if a comment was added by an add-in

    The ability to set the author name in a comment via the JavaScript API is really needed.
