On a page load or reload, the browser will, at an idle time, scroll to
the top of the page. We can't intercept this browser-induced scroll,
so to make sure it doesn't in interfere with our scrolling to the
correct place in your message feed, we let the browser scroll happen
before the work we do on page load.

This commit makes keep_pointer_in_view() less aggressive when
the pointer is toward the top of the screen. If the pointer is toward
the top of the screen, then as long as it's fully on the screen, we
don't pull the rug out from under the user and change the pointer.
An important benefit of this change is that we fix trac #1608,
which was a bug where autoscrolling interacted with
keep_pointer_in_view() to push messages past the top of the screen
before they were read.

The helper functions now return true when a message is on
screen, not when it's off screen, and the names have been
changed accordingly. I also eliminated the at_end parameter,
which was kind of abstract, by having message_is_far_enough_up
and message_is_far_enough_down handle those details.

* Move the state into a closure to duplicate it for multiple queues
* Use _.debounce instead of manual setTimeout fiddling
* Have it handle manipulating the message flags

Functions were supposed to check that messages were unread before
passing them to process_read_messages, but some didn't.
The `mark_messages_as_read` function was essentially that, so
take that name.

When you read messages in a narrow and then un-narrow, collapse
adjacent messages read in the narrow into a summary row that can
be clicked to expand those messages.
Scoped to staging with feature flags.
The implementation of this within our current MessageList is rather ugly.
