[PATCH v3 6/7] On deletion, replace with ghost when other active messages in thread

Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] On deletion, replace with ghost when other active messages in thread

There is no need to add a ghost message upon deletion if there are no
other active messages in the thread.

Also, if the message being deleted was a ghost already, we can just go
ahead and delete it.
