Title: FEATURE: Hide deleted posts by default for staff

Really old meta post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/collapse-deleted-posts/13942

This is a very big quality-of-life improvement for admins.

Notable changes:

- A notification shows below the topic map if deleted posts have been hidden
- **Filtering to a user will turn off deleted post filtering** unless you turn it back on
- Fixed the width on the post gap bars. @awesomerobot this
- Moderators can see deleted *topics* that they would be able to see if the topic wasn't deleted
- All of this is invisible to non-staff

The screenshot below shows the added URL parameter, which is 'discoverable' via clicking avatars in the topic map:
