If the client is not composing a message, we can just force a page
reload. However, if he is composing a message, we must preserve that
message while still reloading as soon as possible.
We take the following approach: if the client has not completed the
composition after 5 minutes, do a compose-preserving reload
(described below). If he sends the message before the timeout
expires, reload the page after a successful send. If the send fails
(not due to server timeout), however, we do a compose-perserving
reload in case the error was due to the data format changing. If the
send failed due to server timeout, we don't reload because the reload
will probably also fail.
In a compose-preserving reload, we redirect to an URI that has a
fragment indicating we are doing a reload and containing all the
necessary information for restoring the compose window to its
previous state. On page load, we check the fragment to see if we
just did a compose-preserving reload, and, if we did, we restore the
compose window (or just try the send again in the case of send
failure). The URI fragment looks like:

We had this fascinating behavior where pressing a down arrow near the
end of the page would advance the pointer, call recenter_view, which
would trigger a scroll event, which would call keep_pointer_in_view,
which would notice that we were at the end of the page and advance the
pointer again!
I split out that last part into its own function which is only called
on mousewheel events.

This also helps us manage checking, case-insensitive, for
subscriptions while preserving the casing used by the class creator
for display.
It also fixes a bug where the class_list would become out of sync with
your true subscriptions, allowing you to appear to send messages to
classes to which you had unsubscribed.

Rather than trying to keep track of whether the last thing that
happened was an input area being focused (which had all kinds of
bugs), just detect whether we're in an input area using the
appropriate jquery selector. Hopefully this has OK performance.

It is confusing, and clicking on it should behave like clicking
elsewhere in the message.

The new version is now the only codepath that we use in order to start
a reply to a message.

This is somewhat experimental and we may need to work on the condition
when it shows up (or move it elsewhere).
Also, maybe it should say "Today/Yesterday" for times super close to
now -- the main issue with doing this is whether it needs to update
without your reloading the page to avoid being super confusing.

It causes problems when [un]narrowing, and we already do the rest of formatting
on the server side.
