It doesn't make sense for us to track a separate current filter when
it should just the be filter of current message list if there is one.
This will reduce possible confusion in the codebase where filter
returned by narrow_state is different from message_lists.current.
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 first step, split
out the subset of fields that pertain to the current user.

This commit adds code to not show typing notifications for inaccessible
users as the user would not have any information even if we show them
as the name shown would be "Unknown user".
These existing typing related functions are re-usable in the
case of stream typing, except that the key differs. So, to make
it possible to re-use the code in these functions, this commit
removes the `get_key` call in those functions and instead passes
the key directly.
Also, renamed `get_key` to `get_direct_message_conversation_key`
to differentiate it from the `get_topic_key` that we'll add later
for stream typing.
Adds support in the web app for `dm` operator. This will deprecate
the `pm-with` operator, but existing links/URLs are still supported
for backwards-compatilibity.
This commit updates the web app default behaviors to default to
the new narrow/URLs `dm/...` and `/#narrow/dm/...` when navigating
and searching in the app.
There is some general clean up of references to private messages
or PMs to be either direct messages or DMs in these changes.
The general API changelog and documentation updates will be done
in a final commit in the series of commits that adds support for
the various new direct message narrows.
This lets us simplify the long-ish ‘../../static/js’ paths, and will
remove the need for the ‘zrequire’ wrapper.
