When we were preparing the conversion to ES modules in 2019, the
primary obstacle was that the Node tests extensively relied on the
ability to reach into modules and mutate their CommonJS exports in
order to mock things. ES module bindings are not mutable, so in
commit 173c9cee42 we added
babel-plugin-rewire-ts as a kludgy transpilation-based workaround for
this to unblock the conversion.
However, babel-plugin-rewire-ts is slow, buggy, nonstandard,
confusing, and unmaintained. It’s incompatible with running our ES
modules as native ES modules, and prevents us from taking advantage of
modern tools for ES modules. So we want to excise all use of
__Rewire__ (and the disallow_rewire, override_rewire helper functions
that rely on it) from the tests and remove babel-plugin-rewire-ts.
Commits 64abdc199e and
e17ba5260a (#20730) prepared for this by
letting us see where __Rewire__ is being used. Now we go through and
remove most of the uses that are easy to remove without modifying the
production code at all.

Change the logic for rendering PM threads in PM section to
be in the same as that of topics view --
In default view, only recent 5 PM threads would be shown
and append the active conversation as the 6th one at last
if not present in those 5.
In PM section with unreads, a maximum of 8 conversations
would be shown and rest of them would be hidden behind
the 'more conversations' li-item, clicking on which takes
to the zoomedIn view of PM section where all the present
PM threads would be visible.

We now use narrow_state directly in pm_list and pm_list_data
tests, rather than mocking it with our `override*` helpers.
In some places I use an actual Filter() object, but
in places where the only testing concern is that the
active is narrow, I use a stub value.
We will continue to mock narrow_state in most places.
In addition to avoiding test-setup complications, we want
to avoid incidental line coverage on narrow_state that
only indirectly validates its behavior. Part of the
trickiness in avoiding narrow_state mocking is that
you often would have to introduce "real" Filter objects,
and the API for Filter objects is somewhat less than
ideal, and its wordiness can distract from the main
point of the tests.
Hopefully the changes here reflect the correct tradeoffs.
Use proper variable names such as `alice.user_id` for assigning
userId as a parameter instead of directly using a number `101`
and avoid using a variable name `timestamp` for assigning message_ids
to function `pm_conversations.recent.insert()`
