[PLT-7362] Option to add user to channel if mentioned user is not currently in the channel (#7619)

* Option to add user to channel if mentioned user is not currently in the channel

* instead of link from server, just add component on client side to add channel member

* change implementation using post.props

* do clean up and add test

* sanitize post.props['add_channel_member'] on post creation

* move sanitize to app.CreatePost and also apply to app.UpdatePost
