We previously kept the lists in the DOM for all streams and updated
them all when new messages arrived. This was very expensive for
large numbers of streams, so we now just build the subject lists on
demand.

This commit also fixes a bug where "starred messages" wouldn't get
bolded when you narrowed to starred messages. However, it also
introduces a regression where subjects aren't highlighted correctly
on load to a narrow which will be fixed shortly.

This will matter shortly as hashchange.initialize can call
narrow.activate(), which fires an event handler.
Really, I have no idea why we have these initialize() methods anyway
and we don't just do initialization on document.ready.

We memoize add_message_metadata by checking if the message is already
in the all_msg_list. Therefore, we need to add messages to that
message list before we add it to the narrowed_msg_list.

The String.localeCompare function is really slow, at least partially
because it creates a locale-aware collator object each time. So now,
when we can, we create and cache a locale-aware collator object.
However, this is not supported on most browsers, so we fall back to a
non-locale-aware comparison. This is not ideal, but for now we are
mostly working with English-speaking customers.

Addionally, print out a blueslip error instead of dying

This decouples from Chrome notifications, which gives us cross-platform
support in at least modern browsers.
We log this action so its replayable in our message logs.
This implements the model change indicated by the previous schema commit.

We test if the user supports sound in their browser, then determine which
sort of sound their browser supports.
When, whenever we show a desktop notification we also play a sound.

Since they can't be parsed, probably the best thing to do is to send
the user to the home tab; we could add in showing an error message but
then we'd need a way to clear the error message -- better to just have
this work.

Previously, we were fetching Message.objects.select_related() from the
database, even if we actually ended up fetching the message dicts from
memcached and thus not actually using them. Especially in the cached
case, this resulted in a lot of overhead where the Django ORM put
together Message objects with lots of data in them that were never
used. This commit switches the model to only fetch the full message
objects from the database for those messages which are not found in
the memcached caches.

The .data() method tries to coerce the value of the attribute into a
Javascript type, which is not what we want when the stream name looks
like a number or some other Javascript type.

On page load, the scroll_finished function was being called and
scroll_start_message was -1. This caused us to mark all messages
that we loaded through the messages initially visible as read. This
was particularly problematic because message_range iterates over all
message ids between its two arguments.

Previously we were doing quadratic work in the number of streams
because we had to iterate over all <li> elements every time we added
a new one.

Since we pick a new color every time we add a new subscription and
recomputing the available colors was linear in the number of
subscriptions, we were doing quadratic work on page load.

We were previously doing this on every message. Because
update_recent_subjects is linear in the number of streams in the
sidebar, this became very slow when we enabled the streams sidebar
for the MIT realm.
