This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

Previously it would unhide their post but leave them silenced.
This fix also cleans up some of the helper classes to make it easier
to pass extra data to the silencing code (for example, a link to the
post that caused the user to be silenced.)
This patch also refactors the auto_silence specs to avoid using
stubs.
Before this patch, a high trust level user could flag something
and have an action be taken, as well as skipping the flag queue.
Now, if a TL3/TL4 cause an action, the flag will skip the minimum
visibility check and allow staff to review it.
Previously we would raise a 500 error if a moderator tried to agree on a
flag another moderator deferred.
This can happen cause the UX for flags does not live refresh as flags
are handled
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

Rails yanked out observers many many years ago, instead the functionality
was yanked out to a gem that is very lightly maintained.
For example: if we want to upgrade to rails 5 there is no published gem
Internally the usage of observers had quite a few problem.
The series of refactors renamed a bunch of classes to give us more clarity
and removed some magic.
