When we were preparing the conversion to ES modules in 2019, the
primary obstacle was that the Node tests extensively relied on the
ability to reach into modules and mutate their CommonJS exports in
order to mock things. ES module bindings are not mutable, so in
commit 173c9cee42 we added
babel-plugin-rewire-ts as a kludgy transpilation-based workaround for
this to unblock the conversion.
However, babel-plugin-rewire-ts is slow, buggy, nonstandard,
confusing, and unmaintained. It’s incompatible with running our ES
modules as native ES modules, and prevents us from taking advantage of
modern tools for ES modules. So we want to excise all use of
__Rewire__ (and the disallow_rewire, override_rewire helper functions
that rely on it) from the tests and remove babel-plugin-rewire-ts.
Commits 64abdc199e and
e17ba5260a (#20730) prepared for this by
letting us see where __Rewire__ is being used. Now we go through and
remove most of the uses that are easy to remove without modifying the
production code at all.

The most notable change here is that when you are adding
subscribers to a stream as part of creating the stream,
you can now use the same essential pill-based UI for
adding users as we do when you edit subscribers for an
existing stream.
We don't try to exactly mimic the edit-stream UI or
implementation, since when you are adding subscribers
during create-stream, we are just updating a list in
memory, whereas in the edit-stream UI, we immediately
send info to the server.
