Add hour pagination to archives (!2014) · Merge requests · gitter / webapp

If a day in the archive has more than 1,500 messages, we redirect to the hour 00:00 - 01:00 range(http://localhost:5000/community/room/archives/2020/01/15/0-1)
When hour ranges are used, there is a hour picker in the sidebar
If there are more than 1,500 messages for a given hour, they are not displayed. Previously it was 1,500 per day so this is a huge step up. Rooms with this much activity are probably pretty rare. Seems like it would be bot kinda of activity.
This is just dumb hour by hour pagination and can include empty hoursw with no messages. There isn't a nice heatmap of the day.
It's still possible to access these hour chunks for archive days below the 1,500 limit but we don't force people to view things that way.

Testing strategy

Have a room with many messages (more than 10)
Adjust the ARCHIVE_MESSAGE_LIMIT in modules/chats/lib/chat-service.js to 10
Visit the room archive for that day, http://localhost:5000/community/room/archives/2020/01/15
Notice how you are redirected to http://localhost:5000/community/room/archives/2020/01/15/0-1

If the room has less than the ARCHIVE_MESSAGE_LIMIT for the day, you won't be redirected and can see all the messages on one page like you did before.
It's still possible to access these hour chunks for archive days below the limit but we don't force people to view things that way.
