* MM-30882: Fix read-after-write issue for demoting user In (*App).DemoteUserToGuest, we would demote a user, and then immediately read it back to do future operations from the user. This reading back of the user had the effect of sticking the old value into the cache after which it would never be updated. There was another issue along with this, which was when the invalidation message would broadcast across the cluster, it would hit the cache invalidation problem where an unrelated store call would miss the cache because it was invalidated, and then again read from replica and stick the old value. To fix all these, we return the new value directly from the store method to avoid having the app to read it again. And we add a map in the localcache layer which tracks invalidations made, and then switch to use master if it's true. The core change is fairly limited, but due to changing the store method signatures, a lot of code needed to be updated to pass "context.Background". Therefore the PR just "appears" to be big, but the main changes are limited to app/user.go, sqlstore/user_store.go and user_layer.go https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-30882 ```release-note Fix an issue where demoting a user to guest would not take effect in an environment with read replicas. ``` * Fix concurrent map access * Fixing mistakes * fix tests
