Moderation UI use WP Capabilities (PR)

This is a great and extremely useful plugin!

I’d like to suggest a feature that allows specifying a user’s role that can see the admin links. Currently the Settings menu is visible to anyone with ‘edit_posts’ capability, however the link goes to a blank page.

Here is a patch that does two things:

1. Change default permissions to moderate_comments.
2. Add another settings field that allows this to be changed.
