rCOMM5b7efed3c974: [lib][native][web] Introduce EntityText

Summary

For the ENS work, we need to be able to "introspect" into robotext, find the usernames, and swap them out. This is much easier to do when have an AST to deal with instead of a string.

This will also allow us to get rid of global_viewer in favor of having the messageTitle code just go through the AST and set isViewer to false everywhere.

In future diffs I'll update notifTexts, messageTitle, and uiName (as well as robotext) to all use this new EntityText framework. We need to swap in ENS names in all of these cases.

Test Plan

There's a small unit test here, but mostly this has been tested in combination with the following diffs

Looks complicated but correct. Reviewing this thoroughly might take more time, but I haven't found any issues yet.

lib/utils/entity-text.js
87 ↗	(On Diff #21821)
142–144 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	Can we use index instead?
native/chat/inner-robotext-message.react.js
51–63 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	Maybe if we type the functions as components, we can simplify this code? I'm thinking about a solution where we can simply write `renderThread: ThreadEntity`.

lib/utils/entity-text.js
87 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	This won't work – Flow can't refine the type of `entity` unless the `invariant` is explicitly on `entity`
128 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	This is joining with commas – it should've been passed an empty string
142–144 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	Yeah, that's a way better idea
native/chat/inner-robotext-message.react.js
51–63 ↗	(On Diff #21821)	The downsides are: We'd have to increase the depth of the component hierarchy We'd have to introduce a new component for `renderText` I think the downsides outweigh the upsides personally... I don't see this change improving readability all that much
