This is to set up collapsing, but I think they could be useful
in general, so I'm keeping this is a separate commit.

This change will allow us to test the muting feature on
staging. Any topic named "muted" will automatically be
muted. You can also mute any other topic on the console:
muting.mute_topic('devel', 'ios');
current_msg_list.rerender();
More UI around this experiment will be coming soon, as well
as support for muting entire streams.
The muting module keeps track of which topics are muted, but a
user can expand muted messages, and once that happens, the
messages are marked with the "force_expand" flag that gets
persisted to the back end.
Muted messages are rendered in similar fashion to the summarized
rows, and as part of unifying some of that code, we have
made it so that expanding a summarized section doesn't remove
individual flags related to summaries; instead, the messages
get the force_expand flag set.

This change would allow anyone in the realm to set a topic for a "no topic"
message. As soon as the message topic is set, only the sender can change it again.

If you search for "hello", then the word "hello" will once again
be highlighted yellow in the messages.

One of the ugly parts of message_list.js is how it re-uses the message objects
from the server to hold handlebars template parameters. These objects are
shared between different message lists and re-renders, but are mutated by the
rendering process. The `dom_id` attribute is normally unset on summary rows,
and should not be used in the template. But when a message comes in with a
`dom_id` from another render, it can end up on the summary row, breaking
`rows.get()`.

When you read messages in a narrow and then un-narrow, collapse
adjacent messages read in the narrow into a summary row that can
be clicked to expand those messages.
Scoped to staging with feature flags.
The implementation of this within our current MessageList is rather ugly.
