Damian Parrino afe0b7df61 help: Add "Related articles" links around topic editing.
Based on @timabbott 's feedback, I'm adding a "Related articles" section to:
- Rename a topic.
- Move content to another stream.

Damian Parrino 846200f36e help: Add an article about moving content to another topic.
This commit addresses @timabbott 's comments, by adding a new article
"Move content to another topic".

Thanks to the new article, I also simplified a step from the "Rename a
topic" article to keep it focused on renaming only.

Damian Parrino caea7f167d help: Reorganize articles on editing topics.
* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
  article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
  messages or split topics, and link to it.

* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
  is already covered in rename-a-topic.

* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
  content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
  "rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
  was adapted to the remaining article.

* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
  updates related links.

Tim Abbott 97f1dc4e08 help: Document new setting for moving a topic between streams.
I'd like to do more refactoring on this documentation, but at least we
now explain the current model accurately.

Aman Agrawal 2bc3924672 move_topic_to_stream: Allow moving to/between/from private streams.
Fixes #16284.

Most of the work for this was done when we implemented correct
behavior for guest users, since they treat public streams like private
streams anyway.

The general method involves moving the messages to the new stream with
special care of UserMessage.

We delete UserMessages for subs who are losing access to the message.
For private streams with protected history, we also create UserMessage
elements for users who are not present in the old stream, since that's
important for those users to access the moved messages.

Tim Abbott 6f159ce5c5 templates: Clean up wording around topic moves.
This switches us to cleaner, simpler labels for moving topics; while
also avoiding claiming that we're only allowing moving topics to other
streams.

Aman Agrawal 7197a7ac68 message_edit: Add support for changing stream of a message.
* This feature is currently only visible to admins.
* Locally echoed messages are also updated.
* Add UI for editing stream if user is admin.
* Show propagate mode selector if either stream or topic changed.

Tim Abbott b9098a42d4 messages: Allow moving a topic to another stream.
This completes the implementation of support for moving a topic to
another stream by adding a basic UI for it.

Fixes #6427, which was previously the most-upvoted issue request in
Zulip.

There are likely to be a bunch of follow-up UI improvements on top of
this change to fully flesh out the feature.
