Toby Lawrence 6704e17afd [TNL-5632] Optimize the single_thread view.
Firstly, we're now explicitly instructing the comments service to not
return thread responses/comments if the request isn't AJAX.  So, if you
load the URL for a single discussion thread in your browser, this would
be a non-AJAX call and we'll avoid loading the responses for the entire
thread behind-the-scenes.  Big win here for large threads.

Next, we removed a redundant "get threads" call which was also happening
behind-the-scenes.  This call was redundant as the front-end JS also
grabs the thread list when a topic is chosen, so we were making an
extranenous call for no benefit.  Poof, gone!

Finally, we added some caching of database queries that are required to
drive a lot of the permissions/cohorts machinery around discussion.
This will have a minimal effect but introduced a cleaner way to apply
general memoization at the per-request level which will let us further
cache things as we identify them as issues.
