Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
When the date changes between an existing group and a new group the
existing date separator needs to be updated. This is done by rerendering
the existing group.

Now that we are not directly using message in the message list view
rename the uses of message that are message_containers.

The messages being passed to the handlebars templates were global
messages which we were adding per list details to, show name bar etc.
This causes rendering bugs when you try to rerender a message, because a
different list may have changed it. This commit moves the global message
data to a msg attribute on the message_container which will contain the
per list attributes.

When clear_table is called message_groups must also be cleared.
Otherwise render will try to incrementally update the DOM which will
fail when the expected existing nodes are not found.

The handlebars template adds a text node with a newline after every
message. So we need to filter the jQuery object to include only the
message rows.

Passing anything other than an array of DOM elements to
_post_process_messages is an error. In this case we were passing an
array of arrays of DOM elements.

The goal is to have a more data centric piece that can be unit tested.
We also try to minimise the number of one off jQuery DOM updates and
rerender handlebars fragments instead. This will prevent the
message_group and DOM from drifting apart and not being able to rerender
correctly.

To make the rendering process a bit simpler to read this commit is
refactoring the message group creation into its own function.

Catch any exceptions that happen in the process of triggering
the message_rendered.zulip event. This addresses #2356.

rerender_messages() does extra work such as making rerendering in narrows
safe, as well as updating recipient bars. That should be the only valid entry
point for rerendering individual messages
(imported from commit f91aeb2070b1056ab95e01d68a342558c2813ae8)
Previously topics weren't being highlighted at all and messages had their
highlighting persist across different narrows (because we were only checking
whether the message object had a match_content property, not whether it should
currently be used).
