Migrates email user options to a new data structure, where `email_always`, `email_direct` and `email_private_messages` are replace by
* `email_messages_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `always`)
* `email_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `only_when_away`)
Often we need to amend our schema, it is tempting to use
drop_table, rename_column and drop_column to amned schema
trouble though is that existing code that is running in production
can depend on the existance of previous schema leading to application
breaking until new code base is deployed.
The commit enforces new rules to ensure we can never drop tables or
columns in migrations and instead use Migration::ColumnDropper and
Migration::TableDropper to defer drop the db objects
As it stands we load up user records quite frequently on the topic pages,
this in turn pulls all the columns for the users being selected, just to
discard them after they are loaded
New structure keeps all options in a discrete table, this is better organised
and allows us to easily add more column without worrying about bloating the
user table
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.
