The slugs for PM-with narrows now have user ids in them, so they
are more resilient to email changes, and they have less escaping
characters and are generally prettier.
Examples:
narrow/pm-with/3-cordelia
narrow/pm-with/3,5-group
The part of the URL that is actionable is the comma-delimited
list of one or more userids.
When we decode the slugs, we only use the part before the dash; the
stuff after the dash is just for humans. If we don't see a number
before the dash, we fall back to the old decoding (which should only
matter during a transition period where folks may have old links).
For group PMS, we always say "group" after the dash. For single PMs,
we use the person's email userid, since it's usually fairly concise
and not noisy for a URL. We may tinker with this later.
Basically, the heart of this change is these two new methods:
people.emails_to_slug
people.slug_to_emails
And then we unify the encode codepath as follows:
narrow.pm_with_uri ->
hashchange.operators_to_hash ->
hashchange.encode_operand ->
people.emails_to_slug
The decode path didn't really require much modication in this commit,
other than to have hashchange.decode_operand call people.slug_to_emails
for the pm-with case.
This experiment has been disabled for everyone for a while: if we
bring something like this back, it is not likely to be exactly the same,
and will be different enough to require a different implementation.
As it is, the summarization code was making a few code paths (rendering
especially) more complex, and is worth removing for simplicity's sake.

Previously, we saved the current_msg_list selected id and then
restored it as the home_msg_list selected id, which could result in
the home view loading to the wrong place.
This takes some already bad code and makes it even more in need of
refactoring, but it does fix a pressing bug. We should definitely
refactor both:
* the top of narrow.js
* the save/restore code in reload.js
after this, though.

This does have a small functional change of using use_closest even for
the current_msg_list.last().id case, but that's harmless; and it does
reduce a lot of code duplication and confusing logic here.

This implementation is somewhat hackish in large part because I think
we're going to be wanting to redo the get_old_messages API somewhat
soon, and this may naturally become a lot cleaner as a result, but
this isn't a lot of code and fixes#2235 part (A) and substantially
mitigates #1510.

Even in the case where we are running embedded narrows,
we want narrow.operators() to return new-style operators
that you get with Filter objects, so that callees do
not need to support the legacy tuple format.
(imported from commit a6649881a926a2304e9f7cc8ca53b406e2c8828e)
Have narrow.activate() user filter.operators() to produce
operators that have operand/operator fields, so that its callees
don't need to be backward compatible with the tuple format.

Change the offset to hold of the selected message as an offset from the
top of the screen. Then use the current offset and scrollTop to compute
the new scrollTop.
(imported from commit 718e95d3435c0f84cbb7663a9bb2bc2789314203)
Our logic for unnarrowing when messages were read during the narrow
did not properly use the then_scroll option and thus actually set the
scroll position when they selected a new message. This was
accidentally prevented from being a big problem by the incorrect
scrolling logic that was fixed by:
Only preserve_pre_narrowing_screen_position when preserving pointer.
which caused the browser to scroll _back_ to close to the correct
scroll position (but not the intended scroll position -- it would
usually be a little bit off).
(imported from commit d779de8f89590d242f62d32b22a297bdc096c594)
I think that this will fix the issues we've been having with
hashchange.save_narrow() screwing up the scroll position in the page.

Features:
* Only shows messages in the narrow
* New messages in the narrow will arrive as they are sent
* Works even for streams you're not subscribed to
* Automatically subscribes you to a stream on send
* Doesn't update your pointer
* All searches etc. automatically have the narrow added
