DEV: Remove experimental site setting for chat threads (#22720)
We are removing the experimental site setting. Admins can now decide on a per channel basis to enable/disable threading. It's disabled by default.

DEV: Use the main default session for main test assertions (#22677)
Why this change?

The test being changed in question has been flaky on our CI. However, we
are unable to view the screenshot of why it failed because
ActionDispatch will only take a screenshot of the default session upon
failure. At the same time, taking screenshot of all sessions
automatically upon failure is not possible via the official Capybara or
Rails APIs at the moment. Therefore, we're changing this system test to
avoid using two custom session and instead have the main assertion use
the default session such that any failures will provide us with a
screenshot.

DEV: Add last_message_id to channel and thread (#22488)
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

FIX: Track thread in UI when user sends first message (#22462)
When a user sends their first message in a thread we
automatically track the thread in the backend, but we
don't reflect this in the UI until the user re-opens
the thread. This commit fixes that by showing the new
tracking level in the UI.

FEATURE: Allow users to manually track threads without replying (#22100)
This commit adds a tracking dropdown to each individual thread, similar to topics,
that allows the user to change the notification level for a thread manually. Previously
the user had to reply to a thread to track it and see unread indicators.

Since the user can now manually track threads, the thread index has also been changed
to only show threads that the user is a member of, rather than threads that they had sent
messages in.

Unread indicators also respect the notification level -- Normal level thread tracking
will not show unread indicators in the UI when new messages are sent in the thread.

DEV: Remove superfluous js: true metadata (#21960)
Why this change?

It is very unlikely that we need to ever JS for system tests considering
that we rely on a JS framework on the frontend.

DEV: various improvements to devex on chat (#21612)
- Improves styleguide support
- Adds toggle color scheme to styleguide
- Adds properties mutators to styleguide
- Attempts to quit a session as soon as done with it in system specs, this should at least free resources faster
- Refactors fabricators to simplify them
- Adds more fabricators (uploads for example)
- Starts implementing components pattern in system specs
- Uses Chat::Message creator to create messages in system specs, this should help to have more real specs as the side effects should now happen

UX: implements draft threads (#21361)
This commit implements all the necessary logic to create thread seamlessly. For this it relies on the same logic used for messages and generates a `staged-id`(using the format: `staged-thread-CHANNEL_ID-MESSAGE_ID` which is used to re-conciliate state client sides once the thread has been persisted on the backend.

Part of this change the client side is now always using real thread and channel objects instead of sometimes relying on a flat `threadId` or `channelId`.

This PR also brings three UX changes:
- thread starts from top
- number of buttons on message actions is dependent of the width of the enclosing container
- <kbd>shift + ArrowUp</kbd> will reply to the last message

FIX: Do not count thread messages for channel unreads (#21126)
We currently don't have a nice UI to show unread messages for the thread,
and it will take some time to create one. For now, this commit makes it so
new messages inside a thread do not count towards a chat channel's unread
counts, and new messages sent in a thread do not update a user's `last_read_message_id`
for a channel.

In addition, this PR refactors the `Chat::ChannelFetcher` to use the `Chat::ChannelUnreadsQuery`
query class for consistency, and made said class able to return zeroed-out records
for channels the user is not a member of.

Finally, a small bug is fixed here where if a user's `last_read_message_id` for
a channel was a thread's OM ID, then the thread OM would not show in the
main channel stream for them until another reply to the channel was posted.

FEATURE: Reacting to MessageBus in chat thread panel (#21070)
This commit introduces a ChatChannelPaneSubscriptionsManager
and a ChatChannelThreadPaneSubscriptionsManager that inherits
from the first service that handle MessageBus subscriptions
for the main channel and the thread panel respectively.

This necessitated a change to Chat::Publisher to be able to
send MessageBus messages to multiple channels based on whether
a message was an OM for a thread, a thread reply, or a regular
channel message.

An initial change to update the thread indicator with new replies
has been done too, but that will be improved in future as we have
more data to update on the indicators.

Still remaining is to fully move over the handleSentMessage
functionality which includes scrolling and new message indicator
things.

FEATURE: Initial chat thread indicator and disabling echo mode in channels (#21047)
This commit introduces a new thread indicator for channels with `threading_enabled`
set to true and the `enable_exp` site setting set to true. In addition, in the main channel
stream we now hide all messages that are linked to threads except for the original message,
disabling the concept of an "echo mode" for now, we may revisit this in future. We also
remove the jigsaw puzzle "Open Thread" button for message actions, since the thread
indicator can just be used instead.

This also stops the `Chat::Publisher` from sending any messages related to chat
messages that are linked to a thread, unless that chat message is the OM of the
thread. A subsequent PR will link up all MessageBus events within the thread panel,
and for the message indicators.

Another subsequent PR will add the excerpt of the latest message in each thread,
as well as the avatars of the users messaging in the thread.

DEV: Refactoring chat message actions for ChatMessage component usage in thread panel (#20756)
This commit is a major overhaul of how chat message actions work, to make it so they are reusable between the main chat channel and the chat thread panel, as well as many improvements and fixes for the thread panel.

There are now several new classes and concepts:

* ChatMessageInteractor -  This is initialized from the ChatMessage, ChatMessageActionsDesktop, and ChatMessageActionsMobile components. This handles permissions about what actions can be done for each
message based on the context (thread or channel), handles the actions themselves (e.g. copyLink, delete, edit),
and interacts with the pane of the current context to modify the UI
* ChatChannelThreadPane and ChatChannelPane services - This represents the UI context which contains the
messages, and are mostly used for state management for things like message selection.
* ChatChannelThreadComposer and ChatChannelComposer - This handles interaction between the pane, the
message actions, and the composer, dealing with reply and edit message state.
* Scrolling logic for the messages has now been moved to a helper so it can be shared between the main channel pane and the thread pane
* Various improvements with the emoji picker on both mobile and desktop. The DOM node of each component is now located outside of the message which prevents a large range of issues.

The thread panel now also works in the chat drawer, and the thread messages have less
actions than the main panel, since some do not make sense there (e.g. moving messages to
a different channel). The thread panel title, excerpt, and message sender have also been removed
for now to save space.

This gives us a solid base to keep expanding on and fixing up threads. Subsequent PRs will
make the thread MessageBus subscriptions work and disable echo mode
for the initial release of threads.

DEV: Introduces a wait_for_animation system spec helper (#20573)
This is used when calling click_message_action_mobile to wait
for the message actions menu to finish animating up before
attempting to click on it using capybara. Without this, in
the time between capybara getting the x,y position of a menu
item to click on and the click being fired, the animating menu
can move that item out of the way.

With the new helper, we constantly compare x,y client rect positions
for the animating element and wait for them to stabilise. Once they
do, it means the animation is done, and it is safe to click on
anything within the element.

Re-enables mobile system specs for chat that were ignored because
of this.

FEATURE: Chat side panel with threads initial skeleton (#20209)
This commit introduces the skeleton of the chat thread UI. The
structure of the components looks like this. Its done this way
so the side panel can be used for other things as well if we wish,
not just for threads:

```
.main-chat-outlet
   <ChatLivePane />
   <ChatSidePanel>
     <-- rendered with {{outlet}} -->
     <ChatThread />
   </ChatSidePanel>
```

Later on the `ChatThreadList` will be rendered here as well.
Now, when you go to a channel you can open a thread by clicking
on either the Open Thread message action button or by clicking on
the reply indicator. This will take you to a route like `chat/c/:slug/:channelId/t/:threadId`.
This works on mobile as well.

This commit includes basic serializers and routes for threads,
as well as a new `ChatThreadsManager` service in JS that caches
threads for a channel the same way the channel threads manager does.

The chat messages inside the thread are intentionally left out
until a later PR.

**NOTE: These changes are gated behind the site setting enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions
and the threading_enabled boolean on a ChatChannel**
