This commit adds a new endpoint, 'POST /user_topics' which
is used to update the personal preferences for a topic.
Currently, it is used to update the visibility policy of
a user-topic row.
This is a prep commit that renames lib functions
so that they can be used while implementing view
for the new endpoint 'POST /user_topics'.
We use a more generic name when removing the visibility_policy of
a topic, i.e., 'access_stream_to_remove_visibility_policy_by_id/name'
instead of 'access_stream_for_unmute_topic_by_id/name' which focused
on removing MUTE from a topic.
In order to support different types of topic visibility policies,
this renames 'add_topic_mute' to
'set_user_topic_visibility_policy_in_database'
and refactors it to accept a parameter 'visibility_policy'.
Create a corresponding UserTopic row for any visibility policy,
not just muting topics.
When a UserTopic row for (user_profile, stream, topic, recipient_id)
exists already, it updates the row with the new visibility_policy.
In the event of a duplicate request, raises a JsonableError.
i.e., new_visibility_policy == existing_visibility_policy.
There is an increase in the database query count in the message-edit
code path.
Reason:
Earlier, 'add_topic_mute' used 'bulk_create' which either
creates or raises IntegrityError -- 1 query.
Now, 'set_user_topic_visibility_policy' uses get_or_create
-- 2 queries in the case of creating new row.
We can't use the previous approach, because now we have to
handle the case of updating the visibility_policy too.
Also, using bulk_* for a single row is not the correct way.

Replaces 'do_unmute_topic' with 'do_set_user_topic_visibility_policy'
and associated minor changes.
This change is made to align with the plan to use a single function
'do_set_user_topic_visibility_policy' to manage
user_topic - visibility_policy changes and corresponding event
generation.
This commit is a step in the direction of having a common
function to handle visibility_policy changes and event
generation instead of separate functions for each
visibility policy.
In order to support different types of topic visibility policies,
this renames 'do_topic_mute' to 'do_set_user_topic_visibility_policy'
and refactors it to accept a parameter 'visibility_policy'.
This makes use of the new case insensitive UNIQUE index added in the
earlier commit. With that index present, we can now rely solely on the
database to correctly identify duplicates and throw integrity errors as
required.
This commit moves topic related stuff i.e. topic muting functions
to a separate file 'views/user_topics.py'.
'views/muting.py' contains functions related to user-mutes only.
