Bug: if all the comments on a post were deleted then the deleted
comments wouldn't be visible to moderators.
This was because we assumed that if `last_commented_at` was nil it meant
that the post had no comments, but this was wrong. `last_commented_at`
only counts undeleted comments. It's reset to nil if all the commnets
have been deleted.
Refactor to use `render_error_page` to handle User::PrivilegeError
exceptions. This way these exceptions are logged to New Relic.
Changes:
* Anonymous users aren't automatically redirected to the login page.
Instead they're taken to the access denied page, which links to the
login/signup pages.
* JSON/XML error responses return `message` instead of `reason`.
Fixes POST/PUT API requests failing with InvalidAuthenticityToken errors
due to missing CSRF tokens.
CSRF protection is only necessary for cookie-based authentication. For
non-cookie-based authentication we can safely disable it. That is, if
the user is already passing their login + api_key, then we don't need
to additionally verify the request with a CSRF token.

Bug: sending dmails failed for members.
Cause: using lambdas with `rakismet_attrs` failed because unexpected
arguments are passed to the lambdas. Using procs works because the
arguments are ignored.
Also fix the tests to actually test akismet. We didn't catch this
because the tests mocked out the `spam?` call.
Certain parts of comment rendering triggered sql queries that we didn't
really need to do. Rework things to avoid this.
* Preload comment creators in order to display commenter names with link_to_user.
* Preload comment votes in order to display "undo vote" links. Only preload
votes for members since anonymous users can't vote and don't have "undo
vote" links.
* Rework various conditionals to do the filtering in Ruby so that we
avoid issuing any extra queries in sql.
* Avoid issuing any queries at all when the post doesn't have any
comments (when last_commented_at is blank).
Also fixes a bug where mod actions weren't logged on mass updates.
Creating the mod action silently failed because it was called when
CurrentUser wasn' set.
Changes:
* Drop Users.id_to_name.
* Don't cache Users.name_to_id.
* Replace calls to name_to_id with find_by_name when possible.
* Don't autodefine creator_name in belongs_to_creator.
* Don't autodefine updater_name in belongs_to_updater.
* Instead manually define creator_name / updater_name only on models that need
to return these fields in the api.
id_to_name was cached to reduce the impact of N+1 query patterns in
certain places, especially in api responses that return creator_name /
updater_name fields. But it still meant we were doing N calls to
memcache. Using `includes` to prefetch users avoids this N+1 pattern.
name_to_id had no need be cached, it was never used in any performance-
sensitive contexts.
Avoiding caching also avoids the need to keep these caches consistent.
Fix find_by_name and name_to_id to use normalize_name properly, so that
they ignore leading/trailing whitespace. This fixes various search forms
failing to return results when the username field contains trailing
whitespace (inserted by autocomplete).
* Fix tests to run the searches for real instead of mocking everything out.
* Fix SavedSearch.populate to only use the read only database in
production because in breaks things in tests. Specifically:
the posts get created in one db connection but searched for in
another, but the second transaction doesn't see the uncommitted posts
in the first transaction, so the search doesn't work.
* Don't allow adding tags with invalid names when they already exist in
the tags table.
* If an invalid tag is added, show an warning and ignore the tag instead
of failing with a hard error.
* Move the _(cosplay) tag validation into the tag name validator.
Bug: Searching for an aliased tag returns an empty page instead of
showing the results for the real tag.
Cause: The query parsing code runs the search string through
`.mb_chars.downcase` before calling `TagAlias.to_aliased`, so the input
to `to_aliased` is actually a ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars object.
This breaks the `aliases[name]` hash lookup because `name` is not a
plain string.
Fixup for c7bcce429.
