This might need to change after we merge zev's message list branch, but
it fixes the bug and performs well and isn't a lot of code.
And it has the nice property that it'll only fade messages within the
neighbors range, so there's no need to update the unfading code to
support this.

The interface is a little messy because so many of the inputs change

So here's the reproduction recipe:
(1) Find a narrow that doesn't have any messages since 4 days ago
(2) Directly visit that narrow in your browser (or wait for someone to
do a deploy and thus auto-reload)
(3) Wait until load_old_messages has been called at least once
(4) Un-narrow
(5) Scroll up, and notice that the 400 most recent messages are above
sets of older messages.
The cause is that the code in add_messages assumed that
selected_message_id was within the range of message already in the
home view. This is true in most cases where add_message is being
called, but it is not true in the case that the user was in a narrowed
view containing only very old messages (And thus selected_message_id
would be older than everything in the home view).
We can fix this by tracking persistent_message_id separately and using
that for the relevant test in add_messages.

It's possible for selected_message_id to not exist in zhome. For
instance, when you open the page to a narrowed URL, there is a race
between loading the narrowed messages and loading all your
messages. If the narrowed message request completes first, it will
update selected_message_id to your initial_pointer if the latter
happens to be among the narrowed messages. Even if it is not, you can
select a message by clicking on it before the zhome request finishes.
Then the old code would never add that selected_message_id to the
zhome table, so it wouldn't show up in the Home view or if you
re-narrowed.
I'm pretty sure there are still cases where the selected_message_id
might be outside the range of messages in zhome, in which case adding
to zhome might put old messages at the bottom. I observed this twice
on staging but was unable to reproduce it consistently.

Putting update_floating_recipient_bar in the old location caused it to
be called on every single keypress, which is unnecessarily
expensive. Instead, just call it once when we think we might actually
need it: after initiating a narrow.
(imported from commit a6c1518c4001a2dde44d7b512236795da3ccd351)
There's this very edge-case issue which is: if you go to the top of
the page and narrow to something other than the top message, the
floating subject bar does not update.
Why? Well, the way that the narrowing code works is that it sets up
narrowing and then calls
select_message_by_id(target_id, {then_scroll: true});
so that our selected message is in the view.
This in turn calls select_message, which calls recenter_view as
appropriate. This usually causes a scroll action, which in turn causes
the floating recipient bar to be updated.
But when we're at the top of the page, recenter_view doesn't need
to scroll at all! So the bar remains un-updated. Here we explicitly
update it to guard against that case.
This fixes Trac #651.

Alternatively the server could return a successful result with an empty list of
messages. But I prefer the solution in this commit, because it would allow us
in the future to warn the user about the problem. It does allow users to
determine if a given stream exists, but we haven't tried to hide that
information so far.

This was causing glitching where if you narrow so that zfilt has only
one message, and add messages on top (e.g. via get_old_messages), and
then add messages on bottom (e.g. by receiving one), we end up with
the bookend row missing. One can make this happen with narrowing,
but, this situation happens every time with time travelling.

The reproducer for the issue here is:
- Scroll to the top of your feed
- Click on a stream name
- Open a popover
- Click on a subject name
- Note that your old popover doesn't go away, and that you can open
a new one.
The problem was that when we narrow, we call jQuery.empty() on the
zfilt table. That not only removes nodes but also clears event
handlers and jquery data. Thus, even though we have a reference to
the old popover element in the ui module, the element has forgotten
it had a popover. When we call .popover("destroy") it actually
creates a new popover, but never shows it.

This greatly reduces the number of events generated and prevents the

add the 'next_is_same_sender' class, which led to a further

id.

We had this problem where clicking a hyperlink bubbles up and causes a
click on the message, which causes the composebox to open.
We "fixed" this by setting cancelBubble (or, even better, calling
stopPropagation()).
Unfortunately, on Firefox, this fix breaks Ctrl-click and Shift-click,
because those are (apparently) implemented by adding an event listener
on link clicks, and stopPropagation prevents them from being called.
We instead work around this by handling this case in the click handler
of the parent element. (This allows the normal URL click AND Firefox's
bound event handlers for Ctrl and Shift to run.)
This resolves Trac #374.

If the client is not composing a message, we can just force a page
reload. However, if he is composing a message, we must preserve that
message while still reloading as soon as possible.
We take the following approach: if the client has not completed the
composition after 5 minutes, do a compose-preserving reload
(described below). If he sends the message before the timeout
expires, reload the page after a successful send. If the send fails
(not due to server timeout), however, we do a compose-perserving
reload in case the error was due to the data format changing. If the
send failed due to server timeout, we don't reload because the reload
will probably also fail.
In a compose-preserving reload, we redirect to an URI that has a
fragment indicating we are doing a reload and containing all the
necessary information for restoring the compose window to its
previous state. On page load, we check the fragment to see if we
just did a compose-preserving reload, and, if we did, we restore the
compose window (or just try the send again in the case of send
failure). The URI fragment looks like:
(imported from commit af4eeb3930c24118e088057d4da456748fbd2229)
Given that we now look at the top of the pointer rather than the
bottom for this check, our previous 4/5 number was far too permissive
(and led to your selected message often getting covered up by the
compose window).
Anecdotally, this feels a bit better to me.
(imported from commit 39ca7924db56272f7e623708ce0125b2a7012656)
In particular, we had this issue on huge messages. Suppose you had a
huge message and were scrolling up from the bottom. Initially it would
get selected as the message underneath it was below the
threshold. Then, when you scrolled again we said "oh, well, the top is
too tall, it's also *above* the threshold" and moved the pointer back
down. So it glitched back and forth.
Now we consider you above the view threshold by looking at your
bottom, and below the view threshold by looking at your top, which
seems to resolve this issue.
