Sahil Batra 7c4da60b53 message: Don't create historical UserMessage rows when marking as read. ...

We do not create historical UserMessage rows, for messages that didn't
have one, while marking messages as read and simply ignore those messages.
We do so because there is no user of creating UserMessage rows and it just
wastes storage.

Note that we still allow to mark messages from unsubscribed streams as
read but only those which have UserMessage rows for them to handle the
case when the unread messages were not marked as read while unsubscribing
from the stream due to some race condition. In such cases, messages
will not be included in the unread count shown in "All messages" menu
(and stream is anyways not present in the left sidebar), but the message
border on the left is green if viewing the stream after unsusbcribing it.
So, to avoid the confusion for users, the messages will be marked as read
when user scrolls down.
