What does this PR do?
Since notifications are stored in Redis, we can't expect relational integrity: deleting a user will not delete notifications that mention it.
But if we return notifications with missing bits (a follow
without a
user
, for example), the frontend will get very confused and throw an
exception while trying to render them.
This change makes sure we never expose those broken notifications. For uniformity, I've applied the same logic to notes and roles mentioned in notifications, even if nobody reported breakage in those cases.
Tested by creating a few types of notifications with a notifierId
,
then deleting their user.
