Benjamin Mako Hill 6b18840604 datasets/: stage new layer before touching live datasets in add_months ...

Replace mode='append'-direct-to-live approach with a safer staging
workflow: Part 2 writes the new sorted layer to temp staging directories,
the user verifies, then a separate copy step adds the files to the live
datasets. Live datasets are never touched until the copy step, and the
copy only adds files — nothing is deleted or overwritten.

- sort_and_write gains out_by_subreddit/out_by_author params (replaces
  mode param) so Part 2 can target staging paths
- comments_part2.py, submissions_part2.py: expose new params via Fire
- add_months.sh: rewritten with explicit staging dirs, verify checkpoint,
  and find-based copy step
