# 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 } }
```

In the past, the ad plugin relied on two side-effects to achieve this behaviour:
1. Components being fully destroyed/rendered when navigating between pages. This stopped working when Discourse core moved to the more efficient 'loading slider' UI
2. The `listLoading` argument. This was an implementation detail of the old discovery routing infrastructure. Core recently overhauled this and removed the `listLoading` argument, because loading is now handled properly by the Ember router.
Instead of these two properties, we can use the `currentRoute` property of Ember's router service to trigger changes when navigating between pages. A common `{{#each` trick is used to fully destroy/re-render components even if the ad network is unchanged.
