None of the existing custom profile field types have the value as an
integer like declared in many places - nor is it a string like currently
decalred in types.py. The correct type is Union[str, List[int]]. Rather
than tracking this in so many places throughout the codebase, we add a
new ProfileDataElementValue type and insert it where appropriate.
Fixes#17277.
The main limitation of this implementation is that the sync happens if
the user authing already exists. This means that a new user going
through the sign up flow will not have their custom fields synced upon
finishing it. The fields will get synced on their consecutive log in via
SAML in the future. This can be addressed in the future by moving the
syncing code further down the codepaths to login_or_register_remote_user
and plumbing the data through to the user creation process.
We detail that limitation in the documentation.
The old type in default_settings wasn't right - limit_to_subdomains is a
List[str]. We define a TypeDict for capturing the typing of the settings
dict more correctly and to allow future addition of configurable
attributes of other non-str types.
Old: a validator returns None on success and returns an error string
on error.
New: a validator returns the validated value on success and raises
ValidationError on error.
This allows mypy to catch mismatches between the annotated type of a
REQ parameter and the type that the validator actually validates.

The Python 3.6 style does support non-total and even partially-total
TypedDict, but total gives us better guarantees.

Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

Instead of having the rather unclear type Union[str,
List[UserDisplayRecipient]] where display_recipient of message dicts was
involved, we use DisplayRecipientT (renamed from DisplayRecipientCacheT
- since there wasn't much reason to have the word Cache in there), which
makes it clearer what is the actual nature of the objects and gets rid
of this pretty big type declaration.
Since the display_recipients dictionaries corresponding to users are
always dictionaries with keys email, full_name, short_name, id,
is_mirror_dummy - instead of using the overly general Dict[str, Any]
type, we can define a UserDisplayRecipient type,
using an appropriate TypedDict.
The type definitions are moved from display_recipient.py to types.py, so
that they can be imported in models.py.
Appropriate type adjustments are made in various places in the code
where we operate on display_recipients.
It was allowing us to get away with wrong types on a few functions:
`check_send_typing_notification` and `send_notification_backend` can be
(and are) called with a list of `int` as `notification_to`, not just a
list of `str`.
The problem it was working around already had a better solution using
the dummy `type` argument. Use that.

Add new custom profile field type, External account.
External account field links user's social media
profile with account. e.g. GitHub, Twitter, etc.
Fixes part of #12302
This commit modifies FIELD_TYPE_DATA dict in `CustomProfileField`
model to store keyword of field types. And create new dict
FIELD_TYPE_CHOICES_DICT to store all field type information
by field type keyword, i.e. id, name.
This is preparatory commit to remove all static use of field
types in frontend and access field type with keyword instead
of display name.
Originally was going to centralize this in zerver/lib/request.pyi, but this
file is not visible at run-time, being only a stub. The matching request.py
file seemed inappropriate, as it doesn't actually use ViewFuncT.
