Getting rid of NoticeListItemAdapter, putting more into ActivityHandlerPlugin
and relying on plugins to handle rendering code of the content. This gives us
a lot more structure and consistency in notice structure and allows activity
plugins to stop rendering certain kinds of notices more easily.
There should also be a property for an ActivityHandlerPlugin class to avoid
rendering notices in the ordinary stream, so we don't have to overload stuff.
saveActivity will accept an Activity which gets parsed and saved through
plugins. So when an ActivityHandlerPlugin (such as Favorite will be soon)
gets a feed to save, this will be the function called instead of saveNew.
The code is now more event-driven when it comes to rendering notices
and their related HTML elements, since we can't have direct calls from
core to a plugin.
lib/activitymover.php has a function to move a Favorite activity which
will not happen now. The move must be pluginified and performed as an
event which plugins can catch on to.
Now we have to fix any code in the core which directly uses the Fave class
or any other favorite stuff, since it is pluginised and thus might not be
available on some installations.
No validation has been attempted yet. Lots of changes left. This
is visibly not (very) different from the previous CSS layout. But
some simplifications have been made.
Might cause issues with local changes to themes and CSS. Also maybe
javascript which depends on certain legacy microformats elements.
The move to microformats2 is motivated by the announcement that all
microformats should be migrated to version 2, as of 2014-06-20 at:

For a Notice object with multiple results, ->getProfile() would ALWAYS
return the first profile in the list. For example our "popular notices"
stream ended up believing all notices were made by the same profile.
We're now capable of doing image rotation for thumbnails based on
EXIF orientation data. Also, thumbnails are tracked by filenames and
thus we can delete them from storage when we feel like it.
Conversation trees works pretty bad with the current layout, javascript
etc. So it's best if we separate it and work on it as a side-project. The
oldschool settings are currently being deprecated (or broken out like this).
I'll wait with removing User preferences for oldschool conversation tree,
since that might be reusable data. But I guess it will go in the near future.
