Instead of using request.POST to get any potential `sender`
parameters for `send_message_backend`, moves it to the REQ
framework parameters as `req_sender`.
Also, updates `create_mirrored_message_users` to take specific
parameters instead of an HTTP request parameter, which then
accessed parameters via request.POST. And updates existing tests
for those changes.
Adds request as a parameter to json_success as a refactor towards
making `ignored_parameters_unsupported` functionality available
for all API endpoints.
Also, removes any data parameters that are an empty dict or
a dict with the generic success response values.
As a preparatory step to refactoring json_success to accept
request as a parameter, change interface of helper functions:
`handle_deferred_message` in `views.message_send.py` and
`mute_topic` and `unmute_topic` in `views.muting.py`, so
that they return None or data for json_success.
Instead call json_sucess in the caller function, which already
has the HttpRequest as a parameter.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
JsonableError has two major benefits over json_error:
* It can be raised from anywhere in the codebase, rather than
being a return value, which is much more convenient for refactoring,
as one doesn't potentially need to change error handling style when
extracting a bit of view code to a function.
* It is guaranteed to contain the `code` property, which is helpful
for API consistency.
Various stragglers are not updated because JsonableError requires
subclassing in order to specify custom data or HTTP status codes.
This adds a new class called MessageRenderingResult to contain the
additional properties we added to the Message object (like alert_words)
as well as the rendered content to ensure typesafe reference. No
behavioral change is made except changes in typing.
This is a preparatory change for adding django-stubs to the backend.

A bug in the implementation of the can_forge_sender permission
(previously is_api_super_user) resulted in users with this permission
being able to send messages appearing as if sent by a system bots,
including to other organizations hosted by the same Zulip installation.
- The send message API had a bug allowing an api super user to
use forging to send messages to other realms' streams, as a
cross-realm bot. We fix this most directly by eliminating the
realm_str parameter - it is not necessary for any valid current use
case. The email gateway doesn't use this API despite the comment in
that block suggesting otherwise.
- The conditionals inside access_stream_for_send_message are changed up
to improve security. They were generally not ordered very well,
allowing the function to successfully return due to very weak
acceptance conditions - skipping the higher importance checks that
should lead to raising an error.
- The query count in test_subs is decreased because
access_stream_for_send_message returns earlier when doing its check
for a cross-realm bot sender - some subscription checking queries are
skipped.
- A linkifier test in test_message_dict needs to be changed. It didn't
make much sense in the first place, because it was creating a message
by a normal user, to a stream outside of the user's realm. That
shouldn't even be allowed.
