* Summary: fix slowness due to layout thrashing when reloading a large set of status updates
in order to limit the maximum size of a status in a list view (e.g. the home timeline), so as to avoid having to scroll all the way through an abnormally large status update (see https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/8205), the following steps are taken:
•the element containing the status is rendered in the browser
•its height is calculated, to determine if it exceeds the maximum height threshold.
Unfortunately for performance, these steps are carried out in the componentDidMount(/Update) method, which also performs style modifications on the element. The combination of height request and style modification during javascript evaluation in the browser leads to layout-thrashing, where the elements are repeatedly re-laid-out (see https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/rendering/avoid-large-complex-layouts-and-layout-thrashing & https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Performance_best_practices_for_Firefox_fe_engineers).
The solution implemented here is to memoize the collapsed state in Redux the first time the status is seen (e.g. when fetched as part of a small batch, to populate the home timeline) , so that on subsequent re-renders, the value can be queried, rather than recalculated. This strategy is derived from https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4439 & https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4909, and should resolve https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/12455.

Currently, middle-clicking on a hashtag search result will open a new

interface in account and toot dropdown menu. Suggestion by @ashkitten

The modal-handling code gives back focus to the element focused when the
modal opened. However, in the case of reply confirmation, it would do so
*after* the composer code itself requested focus.

So that opening a profile feels faster. Also, pinned toots are not
shown before other toots have loaded. Also, if no toots are loaded,
added empty message
- Use object properties rather than component state for
mouseMovedRecently and scrollToTopOnMouseIdle flags
- Remove redundant scrollToTop prop call, also fixing an attempt to call
an undefined prop.
Fixes#9217
- On recent mouse movement, hold timeline position so statuses remain in
place for interactions in progress.
- If the timeline had been scrolled to the top before mouse movement,
restore scroll on mouse idle.
Reminder: Suggestions were added in #7918 and are based on who you
interact with who you do not follow. E.g. if you boost someone a lot
from seeing other people's boosts of that person, it makes sense you
might be interested in following the original source; or if you reply
to someone a lot, maybe you'd want to follow them
Each suggestion can be dismissed
