This reverts commit 9c6d8d9d81 (#16916).
This feature has known bugs, and also wants some design changes to
make it customizable like linkifiers, so we’re retargeting this to
post-4.x.

Backend logic for handling user mention was cluttered
because it was handled at two stages first in
get_possible_mentions_info while fetching mention data
based on the messsage and then later in UserMentionPattern
which handles processing of text for mention.
Ideally UserMentionPattern should depend on
get_possible_mentions_info only for data but there was a
shared logic between these two that made it hard to debug
any possible bugs.
Updates in this commit make both of these functions
coherent in terms of logic and also add appropiate
comments to improve readability of these functions.
There was also a hidden bug that if a user A is
mentioned in with @**name|id** then @**invalid|id**
again mentioned A because of the way we handled mentions
earlier. It is solved as a result of this refactor and
appropiate test has been added for this.
This has been tested manually as well as by adding new
test to address missing case.
Extend our markdown system to support mentioning of users
by id also. Following these changes, it would be possible
to mention users with @**|user_id** and silently mention
using @_**|user_id**.
Main intention for extending the mention syntax is to make
it convenient for bots to mention a users using their ids. It
is to be noted that previous syntax are also supported.
Documentation tweaked by tabbott for better readability.
The changes were tested manually in development server, and also
by adding some new backend and frontend tests.
Fixes: #17487.
We add support to shorten links and test their shortening in
well-organized, clean manner that makes it trivial to extend the
GitHub approach for GitLab and perhaps other services.
We only shorten basic types of GitHub links (issue, PR, commit) that
fit a set of simple common patterns; the default behaviour of Autolink
is kept for everything else.
Logic added in frontend and backend Markdown Processor is identical.
This makes easy to extend the logic for other services like GitLab.
Fixes#11895.
Modifies `StreamPattern` and `StreamTopicPattern` to inherit
from InlineProcessor instead of Pattern. This change is done
because Pattern stopped checking for matching patterns as soon
as it found a match which was not a valid stream. Due to this
all the subsequent mention failed, even if they were valid.
This bug was only present in backend renderring due to
markdown.inlinepatterns.Pattern.
Due to above changes verbose_compile is no longer used for
precompiling STREAM_LINK_REGEX, STREAM_TOPIC_LINK_REGEX as
adds ^(.*?) and (.*?)$ which cause extra overhead of matching
pattern which is not required. With new InlineProcessor these
extra patterns at beggining and end are not required.
So, StreamPattern and StreamTopicPattern now define their own
__init__ method for precompiling the regex.
Fixes#17535.

Modifies `UserGroupMentionPattern` to inherit from InlineProcessor
instead of Pattern. This change is done because Pattern
stopped checking for matching patterns as soon as it found

Commit 434094e599 (#11321) changed this
from an Extension to a subclass of Markdown, so it no longer has any
reason to use a config dict structured like that of an Extension.

The changes are as follows:
• Fix one day offset in all western zones.
• Correct CST from -64800 to -21600 and CDT from -68400 to -18000.
• Disambiguate PST in favor of -28000 over +28000.
• Add GMT, UTC, WET, previously excluded for being at offset 0.
• Add ACDT, AEDT, AKST, MET, MSK, NST, NZDT, PKT, which the previous
code did not find.
• Remove numbered abbreviations -12, …, +14, which are unnecessary.
• Remove MSD and PKST, which are no longer used.
Hardcode the dict and verify it with a test, so that future
discrepancies won’t go silently unnoticed.

Initally, when writing two or more quotes, having
a blank line in between them, merges those quotes.
This created confusion especially in "quote and reply".
This commit fixes such issues. Now two or more quotes
having a blank line in between them, will not get merged.
This change is correct both for usability and for improving our
compatibility with CommonMark.
Fixes#14379.
See commit 8b002040e0 and #86. The
development environment bug that necessitated this handler has long
been irrelevant.

Initially markdown titles were overridden by Youtube and Vimeo preview titles.
But now it will check if any markdown title is present to replace Youtube or
Vimeo preview titles, if preview of linked websites is enabled.
Fixes#16100
If multiple filters match the same string, we run into an infinite
loop of converting string into urls. To fix it, we mark the matched
string as atomic after first conversion.
The previous code only worked by accident and hyperlink 20.0.0 breaks
it.
>>> hyperlink.parse("example.com").replace(scheme="https")
DecodedURL(url=URL.from_text('https:example.com'))

03ca3afbc2 added more codes that are equivalent to 404's; this adds to
the list of cache-as-None codes a couple which are equivalent to
403's. It does not comprise _all_ possible 403-like codes -- many of
them are "the client is not OK," which is relevant to log as an error
still.
The exception trace only goes from where the exception was thrown up
to where the `logging.exception` call is; any context as to where
_that_ was called from is lost, unless `stack_info` is passed as well.
Having the stack is particularly useful for Sentry exceptions, which
gain the full stack trace.
Add `stack_info=True` on all `logging.exception` calls with a
non-trivial stack; we omit `wsgi.py`. Adjusts tests to match.
Per the API documentation[1], the following codes all correspond to
HTTP 404:
- `34`: **Sorry, that page does not exist.** The specified resource
was not found.
- `144`: **No status found with that ID.** The requested Tweet ID is
not found (if it existed, it was probably deleted)
- `421`: **This Tweet is no longer available.** The Tweet cannot be
retrieved. This may be for a number of reasons.
- `422`: **This Tweet is no longer available because it violated the
Twitter Rules.** The Tweet is not available in the API.
Treat all of these identically.

This change makes our handling of youtube-url previews consistent
with how we handle our inline images. This allows the previews to
render next to the paragraph that links to the youtube video.
Follow-up to PR #15773.
This is similar to our behavior with image previews, and helps
reduce clutter in the final rendered html.
We add the string 'Tweet: ' to our existing tests so those tests
remain the same.
This commit makes our handling of twitter previews consistent with
how we handle our inline images so that tweets render next to the
paragraph that links to the tweet.
We decouple the logic of insertion rules for inline links from
image preview logic. Now, we can use this same logic for other
kinds of link previews as well.
This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
` Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

We had been using !time() syntax for timestamps so far. Since its
an unreleased feature, we can make changes without affecting many
people.
Fixes#15442.
Prior to this commit whenever convert was imported from zerver.lib.markdown
it was aliased as markdown_convert for readability.
This commit rename convert function to markdown_convert so that it can be
directly import it without aliasing and without compromising readability.
