feat: implement DELETE /comments/user/:userId route to delete all comments by user ID

Summary

This pull request implements the DELETE /comments/user/:userId route that allows authenticated users to delete all comments by a specific user ID. The route ensures that only the author of the comments or an admin can perform the deletion.

Changes Implemented

• Added deleteCommentsByUserId method to commentController to handle deleting all comments by user ID.
• Created a new route in commentRoutes.js for DELETE /comments/user/:userId, protected by authenticateToken.
• Implemented error handling to return 404 Not Found if no comments are found for the user.
• Verified functionality with Postman tests.

How to Test

1. Delete All Comments as Author or Admin:

   • Send a DELETE request to http://localhost:5000/comments/user/:userId with a valid user ID and an admin token or a token belonging to the author in the Authorization header.
   • Ensure the response includes { message: 'All comments deleted successfully' }.

2. Unauthorized Deletion Attempt:

   • Send a DELETE request to http://localhost:5000/comments/user/:userId with a valid user ID and a token from a different user (not the author and not an admin).
   • Ensure the response is 403 Forbidden.

3. No Comments Found:

   • Send a DELETE request to http://localhost:5000/comments/user/:userId with a valid user ID but no comments for that user.
   • Ensure the response is 404 Not Found.

Example Request (Admin or Author)

DELETE /comments/user/669b2fba21af94e2afcdd828 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:5000
Authorization: Bearer <admin_or_author_token>

Example Response

{
    "message": "All comments deleted successfully"
}
