### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

This fixes a corner case of the perf optimization in d4e35f5.
When you have the the same post showing in multiple tab/devices and like
said post in one place, we updated the like count but didn't flip the
`acted` bool in the front-end. This caused a small visual desync.

* FIX: Unlike own posts on ownership transfer
If a user has liked a post that has passed the
`post_undo_action_window_mins` system setting window and you transfer ownership
of that post to that user you will be the owner of a post that you have
liked, but cannot unlike resulting in a weird UI behavior. This commit
fixes this issue.
The existing tests didn't check for the timeout window for unliking
posts so I added that in.
I couldn't find a good way to do this logic inside of the guardian class
so rather than duplicating behavior of the `PostActionDestroyer` class
inside of the `PostOwnerChanger` I decided to pass in a "bypass"
variable that could be used to check if the calling class is the
'post_owner_changer' and bypass the guardian instead. I went this route
because the guardian `can_delete_post_action` method has no way of
distinguishing how to allow a user to be able to unlike their own posts
after the timeout window but only on a post owner change.
* use an options hash instead
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.
