This patch removes Ruffle completely, significantly speeding up the
loading of the frontend, making it a little more responsive,
and reducing its compressed size.
In January 2020 Pleroma backend stopped escaping HTML in display names
and passed that responsibility on frontends, compliant with Mastodon's
version of Mastodon API [1]. Pleroma-FE was subsequently modified to
escape the display name [2], however only in the "name_html" field. This
was fine however, since that's what the code rendering display names used.
However, 2 months ago an MR [3] refactoring the way the frontend does emoji
and mention rendering was merged. One of the things it did was moving away
from doing emoji rendering in the entity normalizer and use the unescaped
'user.name' in the rendering code, resulting in HTML injection being
possible again.
This patch escapes 'user.name' as well, as far as I can tell there is no
actual use for an unescaped display name in frontend code, especially
when it comes from MastoAPI, where it is not supposed to be HTML.

$refs is not a reliable way to deal with child components under
tree threading as it is not reactive, but the children may change at
any time. The only good way seems to be making these states aggregated on
the conversation component.
Ref: tree-threading
Now the tree will be always rooted at the highlighted status, and
all its ancestors shown linearly on the top.
Enhancement: If an ancestor has more
than one reply (i.e. it has a child that is not on current status's
ancestor chain), we are given a link to root the thread at that status.
