* Ad post_view::queries

* Add private_message_report_view::queries

* private_message_view, registration_application_view

* Use 'a in BoxedQuery

* comment_reply_view, community_view

* Change aliases to inline module

* person_mention_view

* person_view

* Use separate community_person_ban joins instead of including boolean literal in join-on clause

* Fix comment_view

* rerun ci
