This prevents an edge case where `app.discussions` is considered empty while the new page is loading, and as a result, the side pane isn't set as "enabled". Then, if the pane has previously been pinned, when the page loads and the side pane appears, it covers up part of the discussion page.
Fixes https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/2471
* Update frontend to Mithril 2
- Update Mithril version to v2.0.4
- Add Typescript typings for Mithril
- Rename "props" to "attrs"; "initProps" to "initAttrs"; "m.prop" to "m.stream"; "m.withAttr" to "utils/withAttr".
- Use Mithril 2's new lifecycle hooks
- SubtreeRetainer has been rewritten to be more useful for the new system
- Utils for forcing page re-initializations have been added (force attr in links, setRouteWithForcedRefresh util)
- Other mechanical changes, following the upgrade guide
- Remove some of the custom stuff in our Component base class
- Introduce "fragments" for non-components that control their own DOM
- Remove Mithril patches, introduce a few new ones (route attrs in <a>;
- Redesign AlertManagerState `show` with 3 overloads: `show(children)`, `show(attrs, children)`, `show(componentClass, attrs, children)`
- The `affixedSidebar` util has been replaced with an `AffixedSidebar` component
Challenges:
- `children` and `tag` are now reserved, and can not be used as attr names
- Behavior of links to current page changed in Mithril. If moving to a page that is handled by the same component, the page component WILL NOT be re-initialized by default. Additional code to keep track of the current url is needed (See IndexPage, DiscussionPage, and UserPage for examples)
- Native Promise rejections are shown on console when not handled
- Instances of components can no longer be stored. The state pattern should be used instead.

Like previous "state PRs", this moves app-wide logic relating to
our "composer" widget to its own "state" class, which can be
referenced and called from all parts of the app. This lets us
avoid storing component instances, which we cannot do any longer
once we update to Mithril v2.
This was not as trivial as some of the other state changes, as we
tried to separate DOM effects (e.g. animations) from actual state
changes (e.g. minimizing or opening the composer).
New features:
- A new `app.screen()` method returns the current responsive screen
mode. This lets us check what breakpoint we're on in JS land
without hardcoding / duplicating the actual breakpoints from CSS.
- A new `SuperTextarea` util exposes useful methods for directly
interacting with and manipulating the text contents of e.g. our
post editor.
- A new `ConfirmDocumentUnload` wrapper component encapsulates the
logic for asking the user for confirmation when trying to close
the browser window or navigating to another page. This is used in
the composer to prevent accidentally losing unsaved post content.
There is still potential for future cleanups, but we finally want
to unblock the Mithril update, so these will have to wait:
- Composer height change logic is very DOM-based, so should maybe
not sit in the state.
- I would love to experiment with using composition rather than
inheritance for the `ComposerBody` subclasses.
* Replace gulp with webpack and npm scripts for JS compilation
* Set up Travis CI to commit compiled JS
* Restructure `js` directory; only one instance of npm, forum/admin are "submodules"
* Refactor JS initializers into Application subclasses
* Maintain partial compatibility API (importing from absolute paths) for extensions
* Remove minification responsibility from PHP asset compiler
* Restructure `less` directory
