Currently, in the case where `--modified` is not passed, the linter asserts
that it's checking at least 10 files. Removing this (somewhat arbitrary)
check makes it easier to:
- Add support for specifying files to check via command line arguments
- Reason about cases where `check-templates` is called from `lint-all`
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
In this commit we enhance our current template linter to detect
duplicate ids and report them during lint checks. html_branches.py
was topped up with a new function build_id_dict for the purpose.
Also the get_tag_info function in same file was updated to parse
ids and classes more robustly in cases of template variables.
split_for_id_and_class function was added to serve this purpose.
Unit tests for both the functions were created under
tests/test_html_branches. Also a directory under tests called
test_template_data was created to hold templates for testing under
newly created functionality.
check_templates was modified to print to console any duplicates
detected.

Fixes#2950.
Initialize Record by using __init__ instead of setting attributes
in validate. This is needed because mypy complains when we set
new attributes outside __init__.
Instead of just checking .html files in the templates directory,
we now also check them everywhere, including .html files used
for Casper tests and some static files.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
Running check-templates test fails when there are 'blocktrans' tags in
django templates. The fix is to add 'blocktrans' to
is_django_block_tag function in check-templates.
