Previously, users who had any penalties (were silenced or suspended)
were not allowed to promote to Trust Level 3.
There is also a more subtle change here: if users were silenced or
suspended and then the operation was reverted (user was un-silenced
or un-suspended), then it would have been like the user was never
penalized in the first place. This is no longer the case. To forgive a
user earlier, administrators can use "Clear Penalty History" feature.
Lastly, Jobs::UnsilenceUsers will automatically unsilence any users who
should no longer be silenced (silenced_till < now()). This made it so
silence_count - unsilence_count == 0 for any user who is not silenced,
which defeated the purpose of this TL3 requirement.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
