Introduces the concept of image thumbnails in chat, prior to this we uploaded and used full size chat images within channels and direct messages.
The following changes are covered:
- Post processing of image uploads to create the thumbnail within Chat::MessageProcessor
- Extract responsive image ratios into CookedProcessorMixin (used for creating upload variations)
- Add thumbnail to upload serializer from plugin.rb
- Convert chat upload template to glimmer component using .gjs format
- Use thumbnail image within chat upload component (stores full size img in orig-src data attribute)
- Old uploads which don't have thumbnails will fallback to full size images in channels/DMs
- Update Magnific lightbox to use full size image when clicked
- Update Glimmer lightbox to use full size image (enables zooming for chat images)
When uploading images, they are assigned a dominant color which gets used in various places, such as Discourse Hub and the new lightbox. Previously in chat we didn't assign this attribute, so it was defaulting to a null value. We did however use it as an inline CSS style for the image background (which is visible while the image is downloaded).
This change adds data-dominant-color to the uploaded image in chat and uses it correctly within lightbox.
This change allows users to edit their chat messages based on the criteria added to Site Settings.
If the grace period conditions are met then there will be no (edited) text applied to the message.
The following site settings are added to chat:
chat editing grace period (seconds since message created)
chat editing grace period max diff for low trust levels (number of characters changed)
chat editing grace period max diff for high trust levels (number of characters changed)
- Allows to copy quotes from mobile
- Allows to copy text of a message from mobile
- Allows to select messages by clicking on it when selection has started
Note this commit is also now using toasts to show a confirmation of copy, and refactors system specs helpers concerning secondary actions.

Why this change?
Before this change, we were doing a partial match when checking for
existence. This is a source of flaky tests because a chat message with
text `this is a message` will match any substring like `message` or `a`.
What does this change do?
This change removes the partial match and instead opts for the
`exact_text` option instead.
We were calling reset without the proper params which was causing errors in the console. This commit does the following changes:
- ensures `composer.cancel()` is the only way to cancel editing/reply
- adds a `draftSaved` property to chat message to allow for better tests
- writes a spec to ensure the flow is correct
- adds more page objects for better tests
- homogenize the default state of objects on chat message

Checking "uploading" string is tricky because it both takes time before showing, and when it will show it will show for a short period of time. I prefer to reduce the surface tested here while still getting some confidence out of it and making the test more reliable.
This pull request is a full overhaul of the chat-composer and contains various improvements to the thread panel. They have been grouped in the same PR as lots of improvements/fixes to the thread panel needed an improved composer. This is meant as a first step.
### New features included in this PR
- A resizable side panel
- A clear dropzone area for uploads
- A simplified design for image uploads, this is only a first step towards more redesign of this area in the future
### Notable fixes in this PR
- Correct placeholder in thread panel
- Allows to edit the last message of a thread with arrow up
- Correctly focus composer when replying to a message
- The reply indicator is added instantly in the channel when starting a thread
- Prevents a large variety of bug where the composer could bug and prevent sending message or would clear your input while it has content
### Technical notes
To achieve this PR, three important changes have been made:
- `<ChatComposer>` has been fully rewritten and is now a glimmer component
- The chat composer now takes a `ChatMessage` as input which can directly be used in other operations, it simplifies a lot of logic as we are always working a with a `ChatMessage`
- `TextareaInteractor` has been created to wrap the existing `TextareaTextManipulation` mixin, it will make future migrations easier and allow us to have a less polluted `<ChatComposer>`
Note ".chat-live-pane" has been renamed ".chat-channel"
Design for upload dropzone is from @chapoi
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

When we introduced `existingUploads` as an arg to the
ChatComposerUploads component, we also introduced a bug where
if multiple uploads were being done at once, and the draft
was saved, then because of didReceiveAttrs we would cancel
the currently uploading files because the draft uploads became
the existingUploads.
To work around this, since we do want to keep this on didReceiveAttrs
for cases when the user opens a draft or edits another message,
the easiest thing to do is to just not save uploads into the chat
draft if there are still uploads in progress. That way only when
all uploads are complete do we make them a part of the draft.
There is a small risk that the user could do something to lose
their uploads in the draft, but it's a better gamble to have
that happen rather than in progress uploads to be cancelled
while the user is waiting for them to be done because of the
draft.
Also changes the uploads system spec back to the old way of
attaching multiple files since that is why it was failing.
This PR is introducing glimmer usage in the chat-live-pane, for components but also for models. RestModel usage has been dropped in favor of native classes.
Other changes/additions in this PR:
sticky dates, scrolling will now keep the date separator of the current section at the top of the screen
better unread management, marking a channel as unread will correctly mark the correct message and not mark the whole channel as read. Tracking state will also now correctly return unread count and unread mentions.
adds an animation on bottom arrow
better scrolling behavior, we should now always correctly keep the scroll position while loading more
reactions are now more reactive, and will update their tooltip without needed to close/reopen it
skeleton has been improved with placeholder images and reactions
when making a reaction on the desktop message actions, the menu won't move anymore
simplify logic and stop maintaining a list of unloaded messages

We've had the UploadReference table for some time now in core,
but it was added after ChatUpload was and chat was just never
moved over to this new system.
This commit changes all chat code dealing with uploads to create/
update/delete/query UploadReference records instead of ChatUpload
records for consistency. At a later date we will drop the ChatUpload
table, but for now keeping it for data backup.
The migration + post migration are the same, we need both in case
any chat uploads are added/removed during deploy.
