This is preparatory work towards adding a Topic model.
We plan to use the local variable name as 'topic' for
the Topic model objects.
Currently, we use *topic as the local variable name for
topic names.
We rename local variables of the form *topic to *topic_name
so that we don't need to think about type collisions in
individual code paths where we might want to talk about both
Topic objects and strings for the topic name.
This kind of payload that's loaded from json in the body of the request
is not only used for webhooks, but also in the push bouncer, and may get
used elsewhere too - so a general name is better.
This converts most webhook integration views to use @typed_endpoint instead
of @has_request_variables, rewriting REQ parameters. For these
webhooks, it simply requires switching the decorator, rewriting the
type annotation of payload/message to WebhookPayload[WildValue], and
removing the REQ default that defines the to_wild_value converter.
