Because Zulip Mobile supports some older iOS browser versions that
don't have replaceAll support yet, and mobile is averse to doing the
infrastructure work required to add a, polyfill we avoid using them in
the shared module for now.

It's 2022 and the WHATWG no longer recognizes the term URI. Everything
is now a URL or a type of URL. Which is great because it's way less
confusing. Details here:
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
Moves hash_util.by_stream_uri and hash_util.by_stream_topic_uri to
internal_url so they can be used by external codebases. Due to these
functions being called in many places in the web codebase, wrappers
for both functions are left in hash_util in order to keep these
calls simple.
Also adds test for explicitly testing each function.
Move hash_util.encode_stream_id to internal_url, so it can be shared
with external codebases. Also add a test that explicitly tests escaping
special characters in stream names.
Move stream_data.id_to_slug to internal_url, making it shareable. The
function has been renamed to stream_id_to_slug to reflect that it
operates on a stream id.
Moves the encodeHashComponent and decodeHashComponent functions out of
hash_util and into internal_url which belongs to shared. This is to
accommodate sharing of this code with mobile or any other codebases that
do not wish to duplicate logic.
