# Description
This PR adds the ability to apply **group** and **category** restrictions to a **house ad**.
# What is included
- In order to get the group and category selectors to work within `admin/assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/admin-plugins-house-ads-show.js` I needed to modernize the file.
- I dropped the `bufferedProperty` implementation in favor of a vanilla ember approach
- I added `category_ids` and `group_ids` to our house ads model
- I added tests for group / category restrictions
- I added a preview button to display the house ad
- `/site.json` would return a object called `house_creatives` and a list of key value pairs that matched the ad name with the html, like so:
```js
{ AD_KEY: ad.html }
```
I need access to the category ids on the client to conditionally render the house ads so the new format will be:
```js
{ AD_KEY: { html: ad.html, category_ids: ad.category_ids } }
```

If the selected group to not display ads to had its visibility set to
not be visible then this setting wouldn't work correctly because that
group wouldn't be available client side. The change moves that group
check to be server side so that we can correctly see all the groups that
should not see ads.
* DEV: Convert TL settings to groups
This change converts the TL site settings in this plugin to use groups
instead.

This commit adds 2 new settings to house ads to control whether an ad is shown to anonymous users and logged in users. Existing ads that were created before this feature will default to true for both settings; i.e., they will remain to be visible to both anonymous and logged-in users, but it will be possible to change the settings. Turning off both settings will effectively disable the ad completely.
Hidden tags aren't sent to the client, so they couldn't be used to
disable ads on topic pages. Do this calculation on the server.
Topic list pages for tags can continue to check on the client because
non-staff get a 404 error when trying to view a hidden tag's topic list.
