Sam Saffron 98d6cee7c7 FIX: various fixes to draft system
- destroyDraft which is called when we cancel a draft is now async,
  removing race conditions when you click "reply" to a post and are
  already editing. We used to trigger double dialogs for cancelling
  drafts which was confusing.

- Remove reply as new topic / reply as pm keys, they are no longer
  used and only caused confustion. For example we used to pop up a
  warning when you are composing a reply and flick to reply as
  new topic

- Remove createTopic key, this was a bug that proliferated. Whenever
  creating a topic via the C shortcut or clicking on new topic on full
  screen search the correct new topic draft key will be used
  consistently

- When abandoning an edit we now say "Are you sure you want to discard
  your changes" (instead of abandon your post which is confusing)
