feat(web/converse): Import repository r/2440

Imports the converse forum software I wrote a few years ago. I want to
clean this up a bit and try using Hotwire with it.

Note: The original repository was AGPL-3.0 licensed. I'm the copyright
holder and have relicensed it to GPL-3.0 in the commit that is being
merged.
