### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

* FEATURE: Clean up previously logged information after permanently deleting posts
When soft deleteing a topic or post, we will log some details in the
staff log, including the raw content of the post. Before this commit, we
will not clear the information in these records. Therefore, after
permanently deleting the post, `UserHistory` still retains copy of the
permanently deleted post. This is an unexpected behaviour and may raise
some potential legal issues.
This commit adds a behavior that when a post is permanently deleted, the
details column of the `UserHistory` associated with the post will be
overwritten to "(permanently deleted)". At the same time, for permanent
deletion, a new `action_id` is introduced to distinguish it from soft
deletion.

* FIX: Ensure soft-deleted topics can be deleted
The topic was not found during the deletion process because it was
deleted and `@post.topic` was nil.
* DEV: Use @topic instead of finding the topic every time
This commit fixes the following issue:
* User creates a post
* Akismet or some other thing like requiring posts to be approved puts
the post in the review queue, deleting it
* Admin approves the post
* Email is never sent to mailing list mode subscribers
We intentionally do not enqueue this for every single post when
recovering a topic (i.e. recovering the first post) since the topics
could have a lot of posts with emails already sent, and we don't want
to clog sidekiq with thousands of notify jobs.
Fixes warning:
```
Deprecation notice: Jobs::SendSystemMessage was enqueued with argument values which do not cleanly serialize to/from JSON. This means that the job will be run with slightly different values than the ones supplied to `enqueue`. Argument values should be strings, booleans, numbers, or nil (or arrays/hashes of those value types). (deprecated since Discourse 2.9) (removal in Discourse 3.0)
At /var/www/discourse/lib/post_destroyer.rb:335:in `notify_deletion`
```
Hard deleting topics that contained soft deleted posts or small actions
used to create orphan posts because only the first post was hard
deleted. This commit adds an error message if there are still posts left
in the topic that must be hard deleted first or hard deletes all small
actions too immediately (there is no other way of hard deleting a small
action because there is no wrench menu).
Updates automatically data on the stats section of the topic.
It will update automatically the following information: likes, replies and last reply (timestamp and user)
Previously email validations could fire when deleting posts if for
certain reasons any user validations fail on the user objects
This kind of condition could happen in core due to a corruption of a
user record, or via a plugin that introduces a new validation on User
We added this constraint in 5bd55acf83
but it is causing problems in hosted sites and is catching the
issue too far down the line. This commit removes the constraint
for now, and also fixes an issue found with PostDestroyer
which wasn't using the UserStatCountUpdater when updating post_count
and thus was causing negative numbers to occur.
Ensures that `UserStat#post_count` and `UserStat#topic_count` does not
go below 0. When it does like it did now, we tend to have bugs in our
code since we're usually coding with the assumption that the count isn't
negative.
In order to support the constraints, our post and topic fabricators in
tests will now automatically increment the count for the respective
user's `UserStat` as well. We have to do this because our fabricators
bypasss `PostCreator` which holds the responsibility of updating `UserStat#post_count` and
`UserStat#topic_count`.
Sometimes administrators want to permanently delete posts and topics
from the database. To make sure that this is done for a good reasons,
administrators can do this only after one minute has passed since the
post was deleted or immediately if another administrator does it.
When we call Bookmark.cleanup! we want to make sure that
topic_user.bookmarked is updated for topics linked to the
bookmarks that were deleted. Also when PostDestroyer calls
destroy and recover. We have a job for this already --
SyncTopicUserBookmarked -- so we just utilize that.
Based on feedback from Matt Haughey, we don't need to use so many words when describing a deleted topic or post.

I was adding specs to ensure that post actions and uploads are removed for permanently deleted posts.
I noticed that post revisions were not permanently destroyed. I added a migration to fix old data.
PostDestroyer should accept the option to permanently destroy post from the database. In addition, when the first post is destroyed it destroys the whole topic.
Currently, that feature is limited to private messages and creator of the post. It will be used by discourse-encrypt to explode encrypted private messages.
* FEATURE - allow category group moderators to delete topics
* Allow individual posts to be deleted
* DEV - refactor for new `can_moderate_topic?` method
Adds functionality to reflect topic delete in Discourse to IMAP inbox (Gmail only for now) and reflecting Gmail deletes in Discourse.
Adding lots of tests, various refactors and code improvements.
When Discourse topic is destroyed in PostDestroyer mark the topic incoming email as imap_sync: true, and do the opposite when post is recovered.
If a user posted a topic and Akismet decided it was spam, the topic gets deleted and put into the review queue. If a category moderator for that category marked the post/topic as "Not Spam" the topic did not get recovered correctly because Guardian.new(@user).can_review_topic?(@post.topic) returned false incorrectly because the topic was deleted.
To reproduce the initial issue here:
1. A user makes a post, which discourse-akismet marks as spam (I cheated and called `DiscourseAkismet::PostsBouncer.new.send(:mark_as_spam, post)` for this)
2. The post lands in the review queue
3. The category the topic is in has a `reviewable_by_group_id`
4. A user in that group goes and looks at the Review queue, decides the post is not spam, and clicks Not Spam
5. Weird stuff happens because the `PostDestroyer#recover` method didn't handle this (the user who clicked Not Spam was not the owner of the post and was not a staff member, so the post didn't get un-destroyed and post counts didn't get updated)
Now users who belong to a group who can review a category now have the ability to recover/delete posts fully.
* PERF: Dematerialize topic_reply_count
It's only ever used for trust level promotions that run daily, or compared to 0. We don't need to track it on every post creation.
* UX: Add symbol in TL3 report if topic reply count is capped
* DEV: Drop user_stats.topic_reply_count column
* Do not grant badges for posts with no user
* Ensure instructions are correct in Change Owner modal
* Hide user-dependent actions from posts with no user
* Make PostRevisor work with posts with no user
* Ensure posts with no user can be deleted
* discourse-narrative-bot should ignore posts with no user
* Skip TopicLink creation for posts with no user
* FIX: User should get notified when a post is deleted
* FEATURE: Notify posters when restoring flagged posts
* Fix typo
