Our logic for unnarrowing when messages were read during the narrow
did not properly use the then_scroll option and thus actually set the
scroll position when they selected a new message. This was
accidentally prevented from being a big problem by the incorrect
scrolling logic that was fixed by:
Only preserve_pre_narrowing_screen_position when preserving pointer.
which caused the browser to scroll _back_ to close to the correct
scroll position (but not the intended scroll position -- it would
usually be a little bit off).

I think that this will fix the issues we've been having with
hashchange.save_narrow() screwing up the scroll position in the page.

Features:
* Only shows messages in the narrow
* New messages in the narrow will arrive as they are sent
* Works even for streams you're not subscribed to
* Automatically subscribes you to a stream on send
* Doesn't update your pointer
* All searches etc. automatically have the narrow added

Trying to condense messages when they are not yet visible just
leads to wasted effort and wrong results.
This commit makes it so that current_msg_list always points to a
visible list, so the code related to message rendering knows when
to call ui.condense_and_collapse(). For activating narrows, we
now let rendering handle the condense/collapse case.
The home view situation is a little trickier, because we render
new messages in the home view even when we're inside inside of a narrow,
presumably to make it fast to switch into the home view. When
we actually go back to the home view, we need to sweep for messages
that might need to be condensed, since they have been originally
rendered while the home view was not visible.

There are now 2 cases for narrowing:
1. We narrowed, but only backwards in time (ie no unread were
read). In this case, try to go back to exactly where we were before
narrowing. This behavior is unchanged.
2. We read some unread messages in a narrow. Instead of going back to
where we were before the narrow, go to our first unread message (or
the bottom of the feed, if there are no unread messages). This is new.
This means that after catching up through the sidebar, on returning
home you'll be at the bottom of your feed.
Searching for the first unread message in a message list with 40,000
messages only takes 17ms according to:
function timeit() {
var t0 = new Date().getTime();
_.find(current_msg_list.all(), unread.message_unread);
var t1 = new Date().getTime();
console.log('Find first unread: ' + (t1 - t0) + ' ms');
}

I'd also like to add a database table to actually store the values
that we get out of this and our send message requests for future
inspection, but for now, grepping logs+statsd is good enough.

I renamed ui.process_condensing() to ui.condense_and_collapse(),
and, more importantly, it now takes a list of elements, not a single
element, which allows us to do some computations outside the loop.

If we load a browser window in a narrowed view and then un-narrow
before the home message list has loaded, we end up attempting to
select message ID -1 from home_msg_list even though it is empty,
triggering a traceback.

Narrow.activate was called without an options object in one
obscure location. I'm not sure how it's actually triggered,
since all searches seem to go through the typeahead path with
the "Search for x" option, but someone managed to do it.

I switched narrow.by_subject and narrow.by_recipient to use the all_msg_list
instead of current_msg_list, since we wanted to be able to narrow to messages
specifically not in the current_msg_list. However, in searches which revealed
old messages outside the range of all_msg_list (which only has a single contiguous range),
this broke narrowing.
Let's use msg_metadata_cache instead.

Displays a notification above the composebox in cases where the message
is not visible (further down), or where it's outside the current narrow or search.
It also offers a link to the appropriate narrow when it makes sense, and offers
timetravel when appropriate. There is currently a bug with timetravel (and you can
see this when using the popover menu) that makes "narrow to messages around this time"
not work for muted messages.
This resolves Trac #1518.

Add the option "Narrow to just this message" to the chevron

* It's an easy way to get a sharable URL for the message.
* It reduces distractions.

For the two cases where narrowing should open the compose box,

Handle closing the compose box inside of narrow.js, to

The main user-facing feature here is that users can open narrows
in new tabs or windows. Internally, it makes the HTML more semantic.
One consequence of making these elements into actual anchor tags
is that clicking on them no longer triggers this logic to
close the compose box when you click outside of it:
// Unfocus our compose area if we click out of it. Don't let exits out
// of modals or selecting text (for copy+paste) trigger cancelling.
if (compose.composing() && !$(e.target).is("a") &&
($(e.target).closest(".modal").length === 0) &&
window.getSelection().toString() === "") {
compose.cancel();
}
Instead of patching the above code, I elected to just call
compose.cancel() explicitly in the click handlers for the links
themselves.
We are gonna try to clean up the compose-box behavior globally soon.

I'm trying to move well-isolated methods out of narrow.js, so that
narrow.js is more strongly focused on UI/ajax interactions and
big, heavy lifting stuff. The logical home for parse/unparse
seemed to be Filter, and they brought along two private methods
with them. The big code moves involved trivial follow ups
like s/exports/Filter/.

1) The class Filter now lives in its own module.
2) The function canonicalized_operators() is now a class method on Filter.
3) The function message_in_home moved to filter.js and became private.
4) Various calling code had to change, of course.
5) Splitting out Filter helped simplify a few tests.

To get to the bottom of the too-much-fading regression,
it was necessary to clean up the code, which was overly
complicated by multi-purposed functions.
The API for compose_fade now has these functions:
set_focused_recipient
start_compose
clear_compose
update_message_list
update_faded_messages
Internally there is now a notion of "normal display",
so e.g. when you want a normal display, we call
_diplay_messages_normally() internally, which removes the
faded/unfaded classes from all messages.
(imported from commit 7eb2b0a163f29d9ebae26661f432fecc7c331e4c)
The compose_fade has three public exports:
set_focused_recipient
unfade_messages
update_faded_messages
All code was pulled directly from compose.js, except for the
one-line setter of set_focused_recipient. The focused_recipients
variable that used to be in compose.js was moved to compose_fade.js,
hence the need for the setter.

When you read messages in a narrow and then un-narrow, collapse
