[IMP] mail: Discuss: lookup in JS cache before doing RPC

When opening a new DM from the Discuss sidebar or from a chat window, and
when inviting people to a channel, first search for a match in the prefetched
partners (basically, the employees), and only perform the im_search RPC
(extending the research to all users) if there is no match.

Also sort the results by name.
