With the new group system for displaying ads we no longer can check if a
user belongs to a trust level group lower than specified. The other
problem is that ALL users including staff and higher trust levels all
belong to trust level 0. So without this fix if we say that an ad should
be visible to trust level 0 users then it will be shown to all users.
This fix adds a new default setting for each ad platform for excluding
trust level 3, 4, and staff users from being shown ads.
- Make display_groups hidden (they will be removed in a later commit)
- Switch to using only exclude_groups instead of display groups and
exclude groups
- rename showToDisplayGroups to showXAds for each provider
* init
* more
* Pass td and colspan to component
* various fixes for house ads between n topics and add a test
* Make adComponents condition easier to read

Ad networks that serve javascript files won't work unless CSP is
disabled (a bad idea), or the content security policy script src
site setting is updated to include all sources of permitted
javascript. We will keep instructions up-to-date in the first post
of this topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/33734
If you want to use one Ad Manager publisher on desktop and a different
one on mobile, use the new dfp_publisher_id_mobile setting.
By default, dfp_publisher_id will be used for both desktop and mobile.
Enter a list of tags in the new setting no_ads_for_tags to prevent
ads from being rendered on topics with one or more of those tags,
and on topic list pages for those tags.
Use the new "house ads frequency" site setting to configure how often
house ads should show, as a percentage. This only applies in ad
placements where other ad networks are configured to appear.
A new setting has been added in Admin > Settings > Ad Plugin called
"no ads for groups". Add group names to this list. If a user belongs
to any of the groups, they will not see any ads. This is an alternative
to using trust level settings like "adsense through trust level".
