Tim Abbott 5cec566cb9 queue_processors: Rewrite MissedMessageWorker to always wait.
Previously, MissedMessageWorker used a batching strategy of just
grabbing all the events from the last 2 minutes, and then sending them
off as emails.  This suffered from the problem that you had a random
time, between 0s and 120s, to edit your message before it would be
sent out via an email.

Additionally, this made the queue had to monitor, because it was
expected to pile up large numbers of events, even if everything was
fine.

We fix this by batching together the events using a timer; the queue
processor itself just tracks the items, and then a timer-handler
process takes care of ensuring that the emails get sent at least 120s
(and at most 130s) after the first triggering message was sent in Zulip.

This introduces a new unpleasant bug, namely that when we restart a
Zulip server, we can now lose some missed_message email events;
further work is required on this point.

Fixes #6839.
