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.
This adds support for a "spoiler" syntax in Zulip's markdown, which
can be used to hide content that one doesn't want to be immediately
visible without a click.
We use our own spoiler block syntax inspired by Zulip's existing quote
and math block markdown extensions, rather than requiring a token on
every line, as is present in some other markdown spoiler
implementations.
Fixes#5802.

OneLogin has removed the app that these instructions used to rely on.
This app choice should be more stable, as there are other providers
that rely on it in their instructions for setting them up with OneLogin.
Ideally, in the future, we'll get our own app added to OneLogin's app
catalogue, which will simplify the setup process for administrators.
I'm torn about this, since there is good content here. But ultimately I think
* This page is a lot of work to write and maintain.
* In most cases, the right thing is for people to find the page that
explains the full feature. E.g. if you don't know what an "administrator"
is, the page I hope you find is "Roles and Permissions". For bots, it's
"Bots and Integrations". Writing a punchy short summary for a glossary
that does better than that is possible, but not fast.
* People find things via search, e.g. by Googling "What is X in Zulip",
rather than looking for a glossary.
* This page was written more than 3 years ago, before we had 100+ help
articles. So it may have served a purpose in the past that no longer
exists.
I used line-height: 22px and font-size: 16px in .message-content to take the
screenshots. Requires some additional fiddling for the LaTeX picture, inline
code block, and maybe a few others.
This is a server setting so I created the section "Server settings" in the help sidebar for this to go under, and rewrote the copy and retook the images that were originally done by @Privisus due to some issues.
