This commit makes it so that when the user has unread threads
for a channel we show a blue dot in the sidebar (or channel index
for mobile/drawer).
This blue dot is slightly different from the channel unread messages:
1. It will only show if the new thread messages were created since
the user last viewed the channel
2. It will be cleared when the user views the channel, but the threads
are still considered unread because we want the user to click into
the thread list to view them
This necessitates a change to the current user serializer to also
include the unread thread overview, which is all unread threads
across all channels and their last reply date + time.
Initial migration and changes to models as well as
changing the following services to update last_message_id:
* Chat::MessageCreator
* Chat::RestoreMessage
* Chat::TrashMessage
The data migration will set the `last_message_id` for all existing
threads and channels in the database.
When we query the thread list as well as the channel,
we look at the last message ID for the following:
* Channel - Sorting DM channels, and channel metadata for the list of channels
* Thread - Last reply details for thread indicators and thread list
This commit replaces two existing screens:
- draft
- channel selection modal
Main features compared to existing solutions
- features are now combined, meaning you can for example create multi users DM
- it will show users with chat disabled
- it shows unread state
- hopefully a better look/feel
- lots of small details and fixes...
Other noticeable fixes
- starting a DM with a user, even from the user card and clicking <kbd>Chat</kbd> will not show a green dot for the target user (or even the channel) until a message is actually sent
- it should almost never do a full page reload anymore

This will be used when we move the channel creation for DMs
to happen when we first send a message in a DM channel to avoid
a double-request. For now we can just have a new API endpoint
for creating this that the existing frontend code can use,
that uses the new service pattern.
This also uses the new policy pattern for services where the policy
can be defined in a class so a more dynamic reason for the policy
failing can be sent to the controller.

Regressed in eec10efc3d. It means that backend plugin spec failures in CI were not failing the spec suite.
Fixes recent regressions and skips two of them - to be handled next week.

This commit adds an initial thread list UI. There are several limitations
with this that will be addressed in future PRs:
* There is no MessageBus reactivity, so e.g. if someone edits the original
message of the thread it will not be reflected in the list. However if
the thread title is updated the original message indicator will be updated.
* There is no unread functionality for threads in the list, if new messages
come into the thread there is no indicator in the UI.
* There is no unread indicator on the actual button to open the thread list.
* No pagination.
In saying that, this is the functionality so far:
* We show a list of the 50 threads that the user has most recently participated
in (i.e. sent a message) for the channel in descending order.
* Each thread we show a rich excerpt, the title, and the user who is the OM creator.
* The title is editable by staff and by the OM creator.
* Thread indicators show a title. We also replace emojis in the titles.
* Thread list works in the drawer/mobile.
This commit moves the category channel creation out
of the Chat::Api::Channel controller and into a
dedicated CreateCategoryChannel service. A follow up
commit will move the DM channel creation out of
the old DirectMessageChannelCreator service.
Also includes a new on_model_errors helper
for chat service class usage, that collects model
validation errors to present in a nice way.

This commit main goal was to comply with Zeitwerk and properly rely on autoloading. To achieve this, most resources have been namespaced under the `Chat` module.
- Given all models are now namespaced with `Chat::` and would change the stored types in DB when using polymorphism or STI (single table inheritance), this commit uses various Rails methods to ensure proper class is loaded and the stored name in DB is unchanged, eg: `Chat::Message` model will be stored as `"ChatMessage"`, and `"ChatMessage"` will correctly load `Chat::Message` model.
- Jobs are now using constants only, eg: `Jobs::Chat::Foo` and should only be enqueued this way
Notes:
- This commit also used this opportunity to limit the number of registered css files in plugin.rb
- `discourse_dev` support has been removed within this commit and will be reintroduced later

This commit fixes the UpdateUserLastRead spec which was checking
for a message ID that did not exist -- this could fail at times
since message ID 2 could exist. Better to create + destroy a message
since then it's guaranteed we have a unique ID.
This also attempts to clarify a step that we expect to fail which
succeeds instead by adding another emoji next to the success tick and
an explanation text.
Also removes some uses of unless in Services::Base, we generally prefer
to use alternatives, since unless can be hard to parse in a lot of
cases.

This commit implements a base service object when working in chat. The documentation is available at https://discourse.github.io/discourse/chat/backend/Chat/Service.html
Generating documentation has been made as part of this commit with a bigger goal in mind of generally making it easier to dive into the chat project.
Working with services generally involves 3 parts:
- The service object itself, which is a series of steps where few of them are specialized (model, transaction, policy)
```ruby
class UpdateAge
include Chat::Service::Base
model :user, :fetch_user
policy :can_see_user
contract
step :update_age
class Contract
attribute :age, :integer
end
def fetch_user(user_id:, **)
User.find_by(id: user_id)
end
def can_see_user(guardian:, **)
guardian.can_see_user(user)
end
def update_age(age:, **)
user.update!(age: age)
end
end
```
- The `with_service` controller helper, handling success and failure of the service within a service and making easy to return proper response to it from the controller
```ruby
def update
with_service(UpdateAge) do
on_success { render_serialized(result.user, BasicUserSerializer, root: "user") }
end
end
```
- Rspec matchers and steps inspector, improving the dev experience while creating specs for a service
```ruby
RSpec.describe(UpdateAge) do
subject(:result) do
described_class.call(guardian: guardian, user_id: user.id, age: age)
end
fab!(:user) { Fabricate(:user) }
fab!(:current_user) { Fabricate(:admin) }
let(:guardian) { Guardian.new(current_user) }
let(:age) { 1 }
it { expect(user.reload.age).to eq(age) }
end
```
Note in case of unexpected failure in your spec, the output will give all the relevant information:
```
1) UpdateAge when no channel_id is given is expected to fail to find a model named 'user'
Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to fail_to_find_a_model(:user) }
Expected model 'foo' (key: 'result.model.user') was not found in the result object.
[1/4] [model] 'user' ❌
[2/4] [policy] 'can_see_user'
[3/4] [contract] 'default'

Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API

Currently it’s not possible to delete a category if an associated chat
channel is present even if there are no messages in this channel.
This can lead to annoying situations for our users.
This patch addresses the issue by checking if the channel is empty
instead of just checking if there is a channel.
This is a followup of the previous refactor where we created two new
models to handle all the dedicated logic that was present in the
`ChatChannel` model.
For the sake of consistency, `DMChannel` has been renamed to
`DirectMessageChannel` and the previous `DirectMessageChannel` model is
now named `DirectMessage`. This should help reasoning about direct
messages.
