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.
A follow-up to #15117 and #15141. Applies the previous changes to PM-specific fields, makes the preview area take the all the available height of the composer, and unifies more spacing between composer elements.
Previously the discourse-presence plugin was using a `position: absolute` hack to display the 'replying...' users in the top right of the composer. This commit adds a more suitable plugin outlet, and updates the discourse-presence styling so it slots into the flex-box layout at the top of the composer
This removes all custom controllers and redis/messagebus logic from discourse-presence, and replaces it with core's new PresenceChannel system.
All functionality should be retained. This implementation should scale much better to large numbers of users, reduce the number of HTTP requests made by clients, and reduce the volume of messages on the MessageBus.
