For spectators, the chunk of page_params that originates from
do_events_register isn’t assigned until ui_init.js. That means the
TypeScript type of page_params is mostly a lie during module load
time: reading a parameter too early silently results in undefined
rather than the declared type, with unpredictable results later on.
We want to make such an early read into an immediate runtime error,
for both users and spectators consistently, and pave the way for
runtime validation of the page_params type. As a second step, split
out the subset of fields that pertain to the entire realm.

Some files already were using `noop` in place of `() => {}`.
It's both clearer what it means and is easier to type.
This updates all test files to fully use `noop`, and
adds a shared import from the test lib file.
Rename the existing 'wildcard_mentioned' flag to
'stream_wildcard_mentioned'.
The 'wildcard_mentioned' flag is deprecated and exists for
backwards compatibility.
We have two separate flags for stream and topic wildcard mentions,
i.e., 'stream_wildcard_mentioned' and 'topic_wildcard_mentioned',
respectively.
* stream wildcard mentions: `@all`, `@everyone`, and `@stream`
* topic wildcard mentions: `@topic`
The `wildcard_mentioned` flag is included in the events and
API response if either `stream_wildcard_mentioned` or
`topic_wildcard_mentioned` is set.
This should cause no functional changes.
This is part of a multi-step effort to move away
from using stream names to reference streams, now
that it's impossible for a user to write a message
with an invalid stream name (since switching to
the dropdown).
We should make `get_by_user_id` type-safe in the sense that it's caller
should not expect undefined values and hence it's caller should not
need to validate the user ids.
To do this I extracted a method `maybe_get_user_by_id` which is
type-unsafe version of this function which will allow undefined values
and will behave exactly the same as the previous version. So the callers
which expects the undefined values from this function should use this
new function `maybe_get_user_by_id`.
Probably about half of these callers are implicitly iterating through
all users in the people.js data set and thus by construction should
never fail, but it's simpler to just convert all existing callers than
do that audit.
This lets us simplify the long-ish ‘../../static/js’ paths, and will
remove the need for the ‘zrequire’ wrapper.
