For our user administration, we now primarily work with user ids
that get put into data-user-id attributes. We still put emails in the
tags to make our Casper tests easy to maintain.
This requires a minor change to the back end to pass down user ids
for the /users endpoint (in get_members_backend).
We now trigger an event in user_events.js, and we dynamically
build the list of names in pm_list.js by calling out to
people.get_recipients().
We have a few variations of functions that build lists of names
for huddles, which should be cleaned up eventually. They are
called at different times in the code path, so the different
functions, while doing mostly the same thing, start with different
data sources.
Note that this only works for people who are currently logged in.
Folks that log in after you may pick up the old full name from
the message. (I'll address this in a separate commit.)
Most of the magic happens in message_live_update.update_avatar().
The prior code was buggy, as it was using person.id instead of
person.user_id, and it was not setting the image resolution.
