rCOMMc940b617a254: [web] [feat] [ENG-991] add promote thread to menu dropdown

Summary

add promote option to the dropdown menu, with API hook.

The promote button shows in every dropdown. I need to add logic in another diff to only show it in sidebars that can be promoted.
Loading state needs to be added in another diff too.

Isn't the screenshot in the diff description from some other task?

web/chat/thread-menu.react.js
205 ↗	(On Diff #11480)	I'm not sure if it's a good name for this action now. I know that in some designs there is used the name "thread" for what is currently "sidebar" but I think we still use "sidebars" in other places. Maybe the action should be "Promote sidebar", or - as in mobile app - "Promote to full thread" for now?

web/chat/thread-menu.react.js
205 ↗	(On Diff #11480)	I think for end-user (something the user will see on the UI) display it's right. You're right, everything in the codebase is promoted sidebar, which should be the name in the code. I chatted with @ashoat about this IRL. Just want to confirm we're on the same page.

In the code it probably makes sense to continue calling them sidebars, and using "thread" to refer to any generic chat. But in the copy (user-facing language) we should use "thread" for sidebar, "chat" for any generic chat, and "channel" for chats that aren't threads.

Still need to add logic of showing promote option on sidebar conversations in another diff.

Do you mean that at this point, we're always showing this button and your intention is to add logic, which limits this to only sidebar conversations, in another diff?
