Don't override the timestamps

What's the context on this change?

When we process the operation, we create a map updatedThreadInfosByThreadID with the most recent thread infos. We need this map so that we can correctly create UPDATE_THREAD update that don't override changes made by the specs. UPDATE_THREAD update overrides completely a thread in the store, with its content.

Before this diff, we were using UPDATE_THREAD to update the replies count, which was only affecting the sidebars - that's why this condition existed. For the unread status, we were using UPDATE_THREAD_READ_STATUS which doesn't override the thread and updates only one of its properties.

In this diff, we're replacing UPDATE_THREAD_READ_STATUS with UPDATE_THREAD for all the other threads, which means that updatedThreadInfosByThreadID map has to include all the threads.

That makes sense – thanks for explaining!
