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.

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.
* Move the limit:<n> / order:random metatag parsing from the controller
to the post set.
* Introduce `Tag.has_metatag?` and use it to parse these metatags
instead of using a regex (#2894).
* On posts, automatically trigger "Fetch source data" when clicking the
Edit tab, instead of triggering the artist finder button. This way we
find both the artist and the translated tags in one ajax call.
* Remove the "Artist" finder button next to the source field. This isn't
necessary given that "Fetch source data" finds the artist itself.
* Remove the /artists/finder.json API endpoint. This is no longer used
after removing the "Artist" finder button.
