While loading a thread, we were unnecessarily re-counting the replies
for all posts in a thread even if they would be the same number.
While this is needed in other queries where the posts can be from different
threads or they can be random ids, but to load a single post thread, there
is no need to recompute it again and again.
Therefore, we use a CTE to precompute the replycount and then just plug in
the value in the subsequent query. This gives an improvement in the query
plan as well:
OLD:
```
explain (analyze, buffers) SELECT p.id, p.rootid, p.createat, (SELECT count(*) FROM Posts WHERE Posts.RootId = (CASE WHEN p.RootId = '' THEN p.Id ELSE p.RootId END) AND Posts.DeleteAt = 0) as ReplyC
ount FROM Posts p WHERE (p.Id = 'h3cer597jb8abbcbitpghpomua' OR p.RootId = 'h3cer597jb8abbcbitpghpomua') AND p.DeleteAt = 0;
