While seemingly correct, an onremove method in Modal that triggers animateHide is problematic, because if one modal is opened from another, the one currently open will be removed from the DOM, triggering animateHide, and closing the new modal.
To compensate, an onupdate method now closes a modal if one is open but shouldn't be; this supports the functionality of the old method when the modal is closed not from the modal instance itself (e.g. app.modal.close())
This is not ideal, but necessary. We should consider eventually expanding the modal system to support showing multiple modals at the same time (stacked over each other). Then, we can move this back to individual modals.
* Update frontend to Mithril 2
- Update Mithril version to v2.0.4
- Add Typescript typings for Mithril
- Rename "props" to "attrs"; "initProps" to "initAttrs"; "m.prop" to "m.stream"; "m.withAttr" to "utils/withAttr".
- Use Mithril 2's new lifecycle hooks
- SubtreeRetainer has been rewritten to be more useful for the new system
- Utils for forcing page re-initializations have been added (force attr in links, setRouteWithForcedRefresh util)
- Other mechanical changes, following the upgrade guide
- Remove some of the custom stuff in our Component base class
- Introduce "fragments" for non-components that control their own DOM
- Remove Mithril patches, introduce a few new ones (route attrs in <a>;
- Redesign AlertManagerState `show` with 3 overloads: `show(children)`, `show(attrs, children)`, `show(componentClass, attrs, children)`
- The `affixedSidebar` util has been replaced with an `AffixedSidebar` component
Challenges:
- `children` and `tag` are now reserved, and can not be used as attr names
- Behavior of links to current page changed in Mithril. If moving to a page that is handled by the same component, the page component WILL NOT be re-initialized by default. Additional code to keep track of the current url is needed (See IndexPage, DiscussionPage, and UserPage for examples)
- Native Promise rejections are shown on console when not handled
- Instances of components can no longer be stored. The state pattern should be used instead.

- This was accidentially introduced when an explicit z-index was added to reply-actions to prevent Post-footer from covering it
- Here, we revert that zindex, while making Post-footer inline-block to stop it from covering everything. We also set height=0 to stop implicitly added height
This is needed to have access to the newly created SuperTextarea
instance (app.composer.editor) directly after calling show().
Discovered when making ext-mentions work with the Composer state
changes. As far as I could reconstruct, a synchronous redraw was also
triggered in this situation before the changes in #2161.
This commit fixes the method `abbreviateNumber` so that it behaves as stated in the JSDoc.
Previously, an input of `1234` would have produced `1K`. With this change, the output will be `1.2K`.
* Fix closing the composer with ESC key
Regression from #2161.
* Remove obsolete method
Regression from #2162.
* Mark method as protected
* Fade in posts in post stream using CSS
This also avoids a double-fade from the JavaScript code, which was
probably introduced in #2160.
* Fix fadeIn for post stream items

Like previous "state PRs", this moves app-wide logic relating to
our "composer" widget to its own "state" class, which can be
referenced and called from all parts of the app. This lets us
avoid storing component instances, which we cannot do any longer
once we update to Mithril v2.
This was not as trivial as some of the other state changes, as we
tried to separate DOM effects (e.g. animations) from actual state
changes (e.g. minimizing or opening the composer).
New features:
- A new `app.screen()` method returns the current responsive screen
mode. This lets us check what breakpoint we're on in JS land
without hardcoding / duplicating the actual breakpoints from CSS.
- A new `SuperTextarea` util exposes useful methods for directly
interacting with and manipulating the text contents of e.g. our
post editor.
- A new `ConfirmDocumentUnload` wrapper component encapsulates the
logic for asking the user for confirmation when trying to close
the browser window or navigating to another page. This is used in
the composer to prevent accidentally losing unsaved post content.
There is still potential for future cleanups, but we finally want
to unblock the Mithril update, so these will have to wait:
- Composer height change logic is very DOM-based, so should maybe
not sit in the state.
- I would love to experiment with using composition rather than
inheritance for the `ComposerBody` subclasses.
