Show pending edits and redactions by fading the event body.

For edits, the event body should reflect the new message text (and the event should be faded)

For redactions, the event body should look like it was immediately prior to the redaction.

It should be faded to look the same as a pending message send (which I think is actually implemented by styling sending messages as color: #ddd;).

There are outstanding issues around failure state UX discussed in more detail on #9692 - we'll pick these up once @nadonomy returns from holiday.

This is considered a release blocker, at least for the redactions portion, to ensure that redactions clearly indicate pending and completed states.

Got auto-closed as in the PR I said "Fixes ...". The release-blocker part should be addressed though.

AFAIK the only remaining thing is doing a design review on what a pending redaction should look like. Currently like this:

@bwindels Hmm, so the only thing left is to improve the design? I'd say use #9692 for that and consider this one done as it seems to fix the immediate pressing issues.

Sgtm!
