display_settings: Allow user to set default_view. TextField is used to allow users to set long stream + topic narrow names in the urls. We currently restrict users to only set "all_messages" and "recent_topics" as narrows. This commit achieves 3 things: * Removes recent topics as the default view which loads when hash is empty. * Loads default_view when hash is empty. * Loads default_view on pressing escape key when it is unhandled by other present UI elements. NOTE: After this commit loading zulip with an empty hash will automatically set hash to default_view. Ideally, we'd just display the default view without a hash, but that involves extra complexity. One exception is when user is trying to load an overlay directly, i.e. zulip is loaded with an overlay hash. In this case, we render recent topics is background irrespective of default_view. We consider this last detail to be a bug not important enough to block adding this setting.

# Change default view
The default view in Zulip (i.e. what view you reach after logging in
to the Zulip webapp or hitting the `Esc` keyboard shortcut repeatedly)
can be configured. By default, **Recent topics** is the default view;
the previous default, **All messages**, is also supported.
[Contact us](/help/contact-support) if you'd like to be able to
configure a different view as the default.
