This commit adds non-archived group messages and `group_message_summary` notifications in the messages tab in the user menu. With this change, the messages tab in the user menu now includes 3 types of items:
1. Unread `private_message` notifications (notifications when you receive a reply in a PM)
2. Unread and read `group_message_summary` notifications (notifications when there's a new message in a group inbox that you track)
3. Non-archived personal and group messages
Unread `private_message` notifications are always shown first, followed by unread `group_message_summary` notifications, and then everything else (messages and read `group_message_summary` notifications) sorted by recency (most recent first).
Internal topic: t/72976.
Some of the changes in this PR are extracted from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
Similar to the bookmarks tab in the new user menu, the messages tab also displays a mix of notifications and messages. When there are unread message notifications, the tab displays all of these notifications at the top and fills the remaining space in the menu with a list of the user's messages. The bubble/badge count on the messages tab indicates how many unread message notifications there are.
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
The all inboxes was introduced in
016efeadf6 but we decided to roll it back
for performance reasons. The main performance challenge here is that PG
has to basically loop through all the PMs that a user is allowed to view
before being able to order by `Topic#bumped_at`. The all inboxes was not
planned as part of the new/unread filter so we've decided not to tackle
the performance issue for the upcoming release.

This partially reverts commit ddb458343d.
Seeing performance degrade on larger sites so back to drawing board on
this one. Instead of the DISTINCT LEFT JOIN, we switch back to
IN(subquery).
First reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/202482/19
There are two optimizations being applied here:
1. Fetch a user's group ids in a seperate query instead of including it
as a sub-query. When I tried a subquery, the query plan becomes very
inefficient.
1. Join against the `topic_allowed_users` and `topic_allowed_groups`
table instead of doing an IN against a subquery where we UNION the
`topic_id`s from the two tables. From my profiling, this enables PG to
do a backwards index scan on the `index_topics_on_timestamps_private`
index.
This commit fixes a bug where listing all messages was incorrectly
excluding topics if a topic has been archived by a group even if the
user did not belong to the group.
This commit also fixes another bug where dismissing private messages
selectively was subjected to the default limit of 30.
