View submission: Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)

I've always maintained that comment karma is the One True Karma, but sadly, the codebase disagrees. It referes to `karma` and `comment_karma`, as though the latter is simply an afterthought :(

I know some of the other admins have a preference to link too. When you go to your user page on mobile it only shows link. Shits fucked yo.

Back in the good old days, there was no such thing as comment karma and the only way to accumulate any karma at all was to submit stuff. Then people whined about how comments should get karma too, and so they gave us comment karma. But post karma has always been the real karma.
