This commit takes the blocks of code from "build_message_groups" that are the
same as "_rerender_message", and move those into a function called
"set_calculated_message_container_variables". This helps to avoid bugs in
future as in #17663. Like timestr was being updated in one of them, but needed
in both. So, it takes care that message variables are correctly set.
Part of #17663
This commit updates the _rerender_message to update the message_time
string with the current timestamp on the message rerender.
When we locally echo a message, we store a local timestamp that will
generally not be used as it is replaced by the server time in
echo.process_from_server when we confirm receipt of the message.
echo.process_from_server correctly updates the .timestamp field on
the message and triggers a rerender but that rerender reuses
the message_container object without recomputing the
message_container.timestr due to which wrong older timestr was shown
on the message box.
This commit fix this by calling set_timestr in the rerender code path,
alongside calls to update similar data structures like
this._maybe_format_me_message.
Fixes#17655
When idle, we try to backfill messages and in the end reselect
the closest message in the list, which can be a unread message
if present.
When recent topics is open, we can backfill messages; but
shouldn't select the message_id otherwise it will mark the
message as read if the message is unread while triggering
`message_selected.zulip`.
Instead of prohibiting ‘return undefined’ (#8669), we require that a
function must return an explicit value always or never. This prevents
you from forgetting to return a value in some cases. It will also be
important for TypeScript, which distinguishes between undefined and
void.

ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

Prettier would do this anyway, but it’s separated out for a more
reviewable diff. Generated by ESLint.

This commit changes populate_group_for_message_container function to
use stream id to get sub object, instead of stream name.
We already have stream id from message object, so we can easily
use it to fetch sub. We are using stream ids so that we can
avoid bugs related to live update after stream rename.
Previously, we handled this code only in message_list_view.js.
Now we support rendering stream descriptions and some dynamic
elements can be rendered in them, so we extract this new module
and use it in both the places.
If we can't find data on a mentioned user to update its full_name to
the current value, we'll have to go with the value in the message
itself.
This can happen if e.g. we hard-deleted the originally mentioned user
from the database (which can sometimes happen after a "delete my
account completely" request).
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.

We were computing id_of_last_message_sent_by_us
for a valid reason before
fa44d2ea69
was committed in December 2017 to remove the
autoscroll_forever setting.
Since then the only thing that the
conditional for `id_of_last_message_sent_by_us`
short-circuits is a buggy computation of
`id_of_last_message_sent_by_us` itself.
Removing this dead code obviously makes the code
more clear, plus it does save some needless and
possibly bug-prone computation.
In particular, I am trying to lock down `rows.id` to
be more strict about receiving bogus elements, and
removing this code will help with that.
