Do you call get_recipient(Recipient.STREAM, stream_id) or
get_recipient(stream_id, Recipient.STREAM)? I could never
remember, and it was not very type safe, since both parameters
are integers.
We want to convert stream names to stream ids as close
to the "edges" of our system as possible, so we let our
caller do the work of finding the stream id for a stream
narrow.
This commit completely switches us over to using a
dedicated model called MutedTopic to track which topics
a user has muted.
This includes the necessary migrations to create the
table and populate it from legacy data in UserProfile.
A subsequent commit will actually remove the old field
in UserProfile.
This is mostly pure code extraction.
It also removes some dead code in update_muted_topic, where
were updating muted_topics spuriously before calling
do_update_muted_topic.
