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 second step, split
out the subset of fields that pertain to the entire realm.

This commit adds support to allow bot-owners to delete messages
sent by their bots if they are allowed to delete their own messages
as per "delete_own_message_policy" setting and the message delete
time limit has not passed.
Previously, editing topic of "(no topic)" messages was allowed
irrespective of time limit or the "edit_topic_policy" setting.
Since we are working in the direction of having "no topic" messages
feel reasonable, this commit changes the code to not consider them
as a special case and topic editing restrictions apply to them as
well now like all other messages.
We still highlight the topic edit icon in recipient bar without
hovering for "no topic" messages, but it is only shown when user
has permission to edit topics.
This lets us simplify the long-ish ‘../../static/js’ paths, and will
remove the need for the ‘zrequire’ wrapper.
