We received a complaint about the generation of multiple duplicate
drafts for a single message. It was discovered that the likely cause
of this was how we were handling clients that were frequently
suspending/unsuspending, we would initiate a reload when we discovered
this, and expect the `beforeunload` handler to save the draft. This
behaved correctly, however, we would also save the compose state and
fill it in via `preserve_state` in reload.js. The important detail
here is that `preserve_state` would not encode and preserve the
`draft_id` for the current message, partly because it had no way of
knowing the `draft_id` of the draft... since we have not saved it yet,
the `beforeunload` event happens after `preserve_state`. As such,
performing any action that would trigger a draft to be saved, eg
pressing Esc to close the compose box, would save a duplicate draft of
the same message.
To resolve the above bug, we (1) ensure that we call
`drafts.update_draft()` in `preserve_state`, this returns a draft_id
to us, which we (2) ensure that we encode as part of the url and (3)
set on the `#composebox-textarea` as a `draft-id` data attribute,
which we check the next time we try to save the draft, post reload.
Note that this causes us to save the draft twice, once from
preserve_state and then again from the `beforeunload` handler, but we
do not add two drafts since the second update_draft call just edits
the timestamp because it finds the `draft-id` data attribute on the
`#composebox-textarea` set by the first call.
ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

Prettier would do this anyway, but it’s separated out for a more
reviewable diff. Generated by ESLint.

The orig_initial_pointer variable was part of the implementation for
ensuring server-initiated reloads preserve the user's selected message
and scroll position (so that they are not disruptive). Previously,
the logic did some unnecessary contortions to ensure the two goals:
* The `pointer.js` logic knows what the server thinks the pointer is.
* The `message_fetch.js` logic knows what anchor to use to center it's
home view fetch.
It's a lot cleaner to do this by not mutating page_params.pointer.
This is not always a behavior-preserving translation: _.defaults
mutates its first argument. However, the code does not always appear
to have been written to expect that.

We now treat util like a leaf module and
use "require" to import it everywhere it's used.
An earlier version of this commit moved
util into our "shared" library, but we
decided to wait on that. Once we're ready
to do that, we should only need to do a
simple search/replace on various
require/zrequire statements plus a small
tweak to one of the custom linter checks.
It turns out we don't really need util.js
for our most immediate code-sharing goal,
which is to reuse our markdown code on
mobile. There's a little bit of cleanup
still remaining to break the dependency,
but it's minor.
The util module still calls the global
blueslip module in one place, but that
code is about to be removed in the next
few commits.
I am pretty confident that once we start
sharing things like the typeahead code
more aggressively, we'll start having
dependencies on util. The module is barely
more than 300 lines long, so we'll probably
just move the whole thing into shared
rather than break it apart. Also, we
can continue to nibble away at the
cruftier parts of the module.
The compose_state.recipient field was only actually the recipient for
the message if it was a private_message_recipient (in the sense of
other code); we store the stream in compose_state.stream instead.
As a result, the name was quite confusing, resulting in the
possibility of problematic correctness bugs where code assumes this
field has a valid value for stream messages. Fix this by changing it
to compose_state.private_message_recipient for clarity.
This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

Because of the separate declarations, ESLint would convert them to
`let` and then trigger the `prefer-const` error.

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This is preparation for enabling an eslint indentation configuration.
90% of these changes are just fixes for indentation errors that have
snuck into the codebase over the years; the others are more
significant reformatting to make eslint happy (that are not otherwise
actually improvements).
The one area that we do not attempt to work on here is the
"switch/case" indentation.
