Support better management of names of archived channels #800

In zulip/zulip#26661, we plan to rework how archived streams are handled. As part of making these changes, the mobile apps should ideally match the web app in how messages in archived streams are displayed.

API modeling:

  • Start passing the new feature level 315 client capability (archived_channels) to get metadata on archived channels. Most existing functionality (lists of channels, etc.) should filter out archived channels.
  • Handle stream/update events to live update when channels are archived.

Viewing messages in archived streams

  • When viewing messages in an archived stream (e.g.,in search results), append " (archived)" to the end of the stream name. This should be marked for translation. (We can also consider using a different font or a pill in the header bar to indicate archived streams, but just "(archived)" should be fine to start with.)
  • Topic links for archived streams should work. Currently, the server doesn't send data on archived streams to clients. See related discussion here.
