Summary:
Fixes T6713. Before this diff, we would update the DOM when various requests came back, but the logic to erase race conditions proved too tricky for me to get right. Instead, change the algorithm up and keep a set of transaction ids around per thread. When its time to update the transactions, sort the list of ids and just render the whole darn set again.
To make this work, this ends up adding transacton ids to fake transactons like "show older" and date markers. This is able to work by using a float sort and giving these transactions ids that are .5 from being an integer and in the right place numerically.
Test Plan: for durable column, clicked show older and it worked. sent a message and it worked. for main view, clicked show older and it worked. sent a message and it worked.

Summary:
Ref T8151. This is option (5). It needs a few adjustments but feels pretty good. Major issues are:
- Without a mouse, the scrollbars overlap by default, so we //must// move the column off the right margin.
- Scrolling sometimes "bleeds" between the chat vs the main frame in a way that's not as discrete as the old framed content, but feels generally reasonable to me.
If we pursue this, I'd plan to make these additional changes:
- Move the panel away from the right margin only if the page scrollbars are zero-width (i.e., in OSX trackpad mode).
- Fix the notch in the upper right corner when the chat is moved away from the right margin.
- Probably remove the body "overflow-y: scroll" on Conpherence and Workboards.
- Update the resizing code to deal with 300px vs 315px widths.
- We can probably clean up some JX.Scrollbar "main panel" code.
Here's the "bad" case, where I've visually separated the column to provide room for a scrollbar. This isn't ideal, but looks and feels OK to me:

When we send an empty message to the server, pretend its just a request to load the page. Make load a bit smarter such that if we don't get back any transactions, rather than error like the fool, just send down to the client the notion of a 'non_update'. Instrument the client to just turn off the appropriate loading state, etc for a non update.
T7318 is a tricky beast since we don't know exactly how to reproduce it but if / when it occurs again it would be some other bizarre application behavior maybe? We won't be getting the execption anymore, that's for sure.

Summary:
Fixes T7062. When the column is open, we only want to consider the screen width which is avilable for content when computing responsive breakpoints.
Specificially, if you have a 1000px wide browser window (normally "desktop") but the column is open (300px) so you only have 700px free for content (normally "tablet"), we should drop to the tablet breakpoint. This lets you have a narrow column of "tablet" content next to the chat column, instead of a really squished column of "desktop" contnet.
This also means the chat column can't directly use JX.Device to hide itself.

Summary:
Fixes T7629 plus an un filed bug that's breaking creating new threads since we need to add participants EVEN EARLIER than we were doing it now that policy is actually enforced.
Back to the main thrust of this, there is one UI corner case - in the main view if you go from 1:1 to 1:1:1 (i.e. add a 3rd recipient, or Nth in a row) the icon only updates on page reload. I figure this will get sorted out at a later refactor as we make the client better / share more code with durable column.
One other small behavioral oddity is in the main view sometime we start loading with no conpherence. in that case, rather than show some incorrect icon, we show no icon (and "no title") and then things change at load. Seems okay-ish.
Finally, @chad - the CSS is a very work-man-like "use the built in stuff you can specify from PHP" so I'm sure it needs some love.

Summary:
Ref T7014. This hooks up the durable column such that when you open it up it loads your most recent Conpherence. You can then switch amongst the various widgets and stuff and everything works nicely.
Except...
- scroll bar does not work
- also doesn't work at HEAD when I add a ton of text to the UI with no changes? (wrapped $copy in array_fill(0, 1000, $copy))
- "widget selector" does not collapse when you select something else
- this part wasn't really specified so I used the aphlict dropdown stuff. didn't want to keep working on that if this was the wrong UI choice
- can not edit title
- do we still want that to be done by clicking on the title, which pops a dialogue?
- can not add participants or calendar events
- what should this UI be? maybe just a button on the top for "participants" and a button on the bottom for calendar? both on top?
- this is not pixel perfect to the mock or two I've seen around. Aside from generally being bad at that, I definitely didn't get the name + timestamps formatting correctly, because the standard DOM of that has timestamp FIRST which appears second due to a "float right". Seemed like a lot of special-casing for what might not even be that important in the UI so I punted. (And again, there's likely many unknown ways in which this isn't pixel perfect)
There's also code quality issues
- `ConpherenceWidgetConfigConstants` is hopefully temporary or at least gets more sleek as we keep progressing here
- copied some CSS from main Conpherence app
- DOM structure is pretty different
- there's some minor CSS tweaks too given the different width (not to mention the DOM structure being different)
- copied some JS from behavior-pontificate.js to sync threads relative to aphlict updates
- JS in general is like a better version of existing JS; these should collapse I'd hope?
- maybe the aphlict-behavior-dropdown change was badsauce?
...but all that said, this definitely feels really nice and I feel like adding stuff is going to be really easy compared to how normal Conpherence is.
Also includes a bonus bug fix - we now correctly update participation. The user would encounter this issue if they were in a conpherence that got some updates and then they went to a different page; they would have unread status for the messages that were ajax'd in. This patch fixes that by making sure we mark participation up to date with the proper transaction in all cases.
Test Plan: hit "\" to invoke the column and saw nice loading UI and my latest conpherence load. sent messages and verified they received A-OK by looking in DOM console. toggled various widges and verified they rendered correctly. opened up a second browser with a second user on the thread, sent a message, and it was received in a nice asynchronous fashion

Summary:
Ref T2086. Ref T7014. With the persistent column, there is significant value in retaining chrome state through navigation events, because the user may have a lot of state in the chat window (scroll position, text selection, room juggling, partially entered text, etc). We can do this by capturing navigation events and faking them with Javascript.
(This can also improve performance, albeit slightly, and I believe there are better approaches to tackle performance any problems which exist with the chrome in many cases).
At Facebook, this system was "Photostream" in photos and then "Quickling" in general, and the technical cost of the system was //staggering//. I am loathe to pursue it again. However:
- Browsers are less junky now, and we target a smaller set of browsers. A large part of the technical cost of Quickling was the high complexity of emulating nagivation events in IE, where we needed to navigate a hidden iframe to make history entries. All desktop browsers which we might want to use this system on support the History API (although this prototype does not yet implement it).
- Javelin and Phabricator's architecture are much cleaner than Facebook's was. A large part of the technical cost of Quickling was inconsistency, inlined `onclick` handlers, and general lack of coordination and abstraction. We will have //some// of this, but "correctly written" behaviors are mostly immune to it by design, and many of Javelin's architectural decisions were influenced by desire to avoid issues we encountered building this stuff for Facebook.
- Some of the primitives which Quickling required (like loading resources over Ajax) have existed in a stable state in our codebase for a year or more, and adoption of these primitives was trivial and uneventful (vs a huge production at Facebook).
- My hubris is bolstered by recent success with WebSockets and JX.Scrollbar, both of which I would have assessed as infeasibly complex to develop in this project a few years ago.
To these points, the developer cost to prototype Photostream was several weeks; the developer cost to prototype this was a bit less than an hour. It is plausible to me that implementing and maintaining this system really will be hundreds of times less complex than it was at Facebook.
Test Plan:
My plan for this and D11497 is:
- Get them in master.
- Some secret key / relatively-hidden preference activates the column.
- Quicksand activates //only// when the column is open.
- We can use column + quicksand for a long period of time (i.e., over the course of Conpherence v2 development) and hammer out the long tail of issues.
- When it derps up, you just hide the column and you're good to go.
