This was added by commit 7f174213ed, and
appears to have been designed for responses that are *successful* but
falsy. Logically, these should not implicitly represent a failure to
be retried if it were.
Note from tabbott: The background is that this idempotent retry loop
was a hacky workaround for a bug we never understood but saw daily in
production. Especially during server restarts / client reloads,
something would result in 200 responses with no data being seen by the
frontend, despite the Django server not having received/processed the
request. Fortunately, this strange failure mode appears to have
stopped happening in late 2019, so we can delete this hack.

Adds an API endpoint for accessing read receipts for other users, as
well as a modal UI for displaying that information.
Enables the previously merged privacy settings UI for managing whether
a user makes read receipts data available to other users.
Documentation is pending, and we'll likely want to link to the
documentation with help_settings_link once it is complete.
Fixes#3618.
