Introducing public group chats

[baris]

@BrotherGlaucon Memory usage will increase based on how many users are online in the room. I am not sure how much memory each socket.io room uses per user.

@baris It should also work in Persona or only in Harmony?

[baris]

@josef should work in persona as well.

@baris You're right, I forgot to build.
I see a small bug - %1 is displayed instead of the number of chats:

@josef fixed in https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/commit/1e225af0c87e9eb83965f1feac0483db9304a73b

@baris Can't close create/manage/edit room name popup by esc key.

@baris The new group chats do not appear in the list of chats that opens from the chat icon at the top of the site/site side in harmony
Is it by design?

[baris]

Yes, the dropdown only displays private chats.

Added a new option to change the notification setting for chat rooms.

Administrators can change the room default from the manage room modal.
