With these changes, message bubbles in the default-sized chat popup are
just wide enough to display the full complement of html5 media player
controls.
Add contentType-specific limits, switch to lazy-init iff we encounter an
oversized file, and restyle as a toast, factoring out a generic
ToastView along the way.
Simplifies the grunt watch task for sass. Renames sass partials with
leading underscores. Flattens stylesheet directory. The only remaining
raw css file is options.css.
Move globally-relevant styles to _global. Shrink overall font size.
Previously, the ugly file input was hidden with opacity, and styled as a
square paperclip icon, but its drop and click zones were not constrained
to the visible square. They remained active across the whole 'Choose
File' button, which overlapped with the textarea. Instead, hide the file
input complete (display: none) and transmit click events from the
paperclip to the input programmatically.
Eventually, we'll need to address drag and drop events, but I want to do
that at the window level. Otherwise dropping a file outside the file
input drop zone causes the browser to navigate to the file://... url.
Render the entire conversation from a template, because some parts of it
must be rendered conditionally if it is a group vs private conversation.
Also apply some style fixes and restore lost functionality:
* Make conversation title bar fixed.
* Widens message bubbles.
* Unhide message list.
* Restore attachment rendering.
* Restore message sending and attachment file selection.
* Style attachments file input as a paperclip.
* Style send button like on Android and make it a submit input.
This was used to conditionally render messages in the group style, but
it's actually unnecessary. We can render the same markup in both cases
and change the appearance with css.
Move base64 encoding of attachments to an AttachmentView. This makes
image rendering an asynchronous task so we fire an update event to
indicate to the parent MessageListView that its content has changed
height and it is time to scroll down.
This dependency may be a little heavy for our current use case, but we can
roll with it for now and find something slimmer if it turns out yagni.

Each conversation views now manages its own separate elements
rather than all binding to a shared #conversation element, and
similarly for message composition ui.
Also includes the beginnings of group creation UI (not working yet),
featuring bootstrap-tagsinput field for entering group recipients
