js: replace <meta> tags with <body> data attributes.

Refactor things to store information about the current user as data attributes on the <body> tag rather than as <meta> tags. These <meta> tags are now deprecated and will be eventually removed. * Store all of the current user's API attributes as data attributes on the <body> tag. * Add `CurrentUser.data` for getting data from the <body> tag, and use it instead of `Utility.meta`. * Add `CurrentUser.update` for updating the current user's settings. * Fix a bug with the user named "Anonymous" not being able to edit notes.
