Although our POST /messages handler accepts the ‘to’ parameter with or
without JSON encoding, there are two problems with passing it as an
unencoded string.
Firstly, you’d fail to send a message to a stream named ‘true’ or
‘false’ or ‘null’ or ‘2022’, as the JSON interpretation is prioritized
over the plain string interpretation.
Secondly, and more importantly for our tests, it violates our OpenAPI
schema, which requires the parameter to be JSON-encoded. This is
because OpenAPI has no concept of a parameter that’s “optionally
JSON-encoded”, nor should it: such a parameter cannot be unambiguously
decoded for the reason above.
Our version of openapi-core doesn’t currently detect this schema
violation, but after the next upgrade it will.

Removes `client` parameter from backend tests using the
`POST /messages` endpoint when the test can use the default
`User-Agent` as the client, which is set to `ZulipMobile` for API
requests and a browser user agent string for web app requests.
Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

We now have this API...
If you really just need to log in
and not do anything with the actual
user:
self.login('hamlet')
If you're gonna use the user in the
rest of the test:
hamlet = self.example_user('hamlet')
self.login_user(hamlet)
If you are specifically testing
email/password logins (used only in 4 places):
self.login_by_email(email, password)
And for failures uses this (used twice):
self.assert_login_failure(email)
