Bug Description

If a spammer strikes and floods a forum topic, then entire pages of the topic can become "A post by...was deleted" once the spam posts have been deleted

Grouping the posts would prevent entire pages being removal notices. Instead, 11 posts would be replaced by 1 saying "11 posts by... were deleted"

See https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5207 for an example.

Bug #1127802 would also be useful to avoid removal notices filling up entire pages due to spammers taking turns.

Bug #1127801

Unfortunately this patch doesn't do anything about the issue of making it so that
deleted messages don't affect pagination. That one turns out to be non-trivial.
