Abhijeet Prasad Bodas 5d796987f2 message view: Hide messages sent by muted users. ...

* We hide the sender and reactions on messages sent by muted
users, and replace the content with a "This message was hidden"
dialog.

* Ideally, we should collapse a series of consequetive
messages sent by muted users into one such dialog, but
that could break the cursor behaviour and `near/<message_id`
links, so we as of now show one dialog per muted message.

* Because we hide the sender, there is a chance of the first
hidden message in a group looking like it was sent by the
author of the message above it. To tackle this, we intentionally
make the hidden message dialog float-left, so that it is clear
that this is a special type of message.

* For context, we still show the timestamp of the message.

* Starring, editing, deleting etc a message still work just like
before.

A further commit will add the ability to reveal a
hidden message.
