Smarter system notes for description edits

Editing a description will create a new system note now, which is great!

We should be smarter about when we generate these notes. For example, if the same user edits the description of an issue 1+ times within a 10 minute window, we do not need to show a new system note every time. Typically it is to correct a typo or add another line that you forgot. Adding a system note each time pollutes the description timeline.

Design

Let's join that notes if they fit some conditions like:

  1. Notes go after each other (no any other notes/comments among them).

  2. Notes have the same type.

  3. Notes lay in a small time window (1 minute - 10 minutes).

it would be something like
