Trigger note-webhook on comment edit

Problem

Currently, GitLab's note-webhooks are only triggered when comments are created. This limits the ability of external applications to react to and process comment updates.

Proposed Solution

Extend the existing note-webhook functionality to also trigger when comments within merge requests (or issues/snippets) are edited. This will provide a consistent mechanism for external systems to stay synchronized with the latest comment content.

Potential Use Cases

Workflow Automation:
Systems that rely on specific content or keywords within comments could trigger automated actions when a comment is updated. This is the use case that I and RedHat are interested in.

External Integrations:
3rd party tools can remain tightly synchronized with GitLab discussions, even when comments undergo changes. This is the usecase @hussam789 and PRAgent are interested in.

Hi @lzampier, We are from PRAgent.

We are interested in getting a webhook when a Merge request comment (note) is edited or a checkbox is clicked, for implementing interactive MR actions (see similar ability in Github https://www.codium.ai/images/pr_agent/pr-actions.mp4).

1. Is this kind of webhook already implemented? we tried, and we didn't receive an event when editing a comment.
2. Will this MR enable it? Is there a timeline for merging it?

Thanks a lot Codium Team
