[DISCOURSE] - Staff Notices renamed to Official Notices

[AWS]

To improve the clarity of how they are used, we’ve renamed “Staff Notices” to “Official Notices”. This change acknowledges that both staff members and TL4 users can create these useful notices.

Additionally, notices now display the author’s name and link to their profile, providing more transparency about who posted them. This authorship information is only visible to staff:

This update makes it clearer who can create notices while maintaining their official nature and improving attribution.

The update was committed and merged in this pull request:

The name "Staff Notice" was not quite right since TL4 users can also add these …notices. This commit changes the wording to "Official Notice". In addition to this, currently you have to go look into the staff action logs to see who is responsible for a notice. This commit stores the ID of the user who created the notice, then shows this information on each notice to staff users. Finally, I migrated the ChangePostNoticeModal component to gjs.
