This is not always a behavior-preserving translation: _.extend mutates
its first argument. However, the code does not always appear to have
been written to expect that.

This generalizes existing code for the presence code path that is
generically useful for avoiding useless work that will be discarded.
We make an exception for the one type of request that needs to happen
while reloading, namely the one to clean up our event queue.
We used to have a block of code doing this just in the presence
endpoint because that's where we'd had error-handling problems with it
not being present, but it seems more correct for it to run
unconditionally on all HTTP requests.
This requires adding a dependency of channel on reload_state, which we
record in the webpack configuration for now.
This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This allows us to reliably parse the error in code, rather than
attempt to parse the error text. Because the error text gets
translated into the user's language, this error-handling path
wasn't functioning at all for users using Zulip in any of the
seven non-English languages for which we had a translation for
this string.
Together with 709c3b50f which fixed a similar issue in a
different error-handling path, this fixes#5598.
Zulip's logic for garbage-collecting data structures before reloading
was a fix for a Chrome memory leak that lasted across reloads a few
years ago. That memory leak is probably now fixed, and thus logic is
causing lots of JavaScript tracebacks that are probably not useful.
So, let's try removing this cleanup logic (everything but the
still-useful deletion of the event queue).
There are no modern browsers that do not have built in JSON parsing
abilities. We do not need $.parseJSON as it now just serves as a call
to JSON.parse.
The channel module now keeps track pending ajax requests and has an
abort_all function to angle all pending requests.

We've seen in our error logs browser clients that were constantly
retrying requests to our server after the user logged out in one tab
but didn't close another.
