Feature: Implement anonymous nicknames and anonymous posts on categories page (#32)

* Rebase fix to only contain anonymous post updates

* feature(anonymous-posts): Implemnt anonymous posts
Changes:
- backend db flag in topics for their creation to show
user is anonymous
- backend db logic to handle anonymous posts to see
if the poster is the topic creater and set topic to anonymous
- backend logic added to posts to check if viewer is admin
or poster to make said post viewable instead of anonymous
- no frontend template changes were needed

To do:
- However fixes are required as avatar is still shown
for user and if clicked on in preview still goes to the user profile
- Also need to add the ability for user to edit their post to make it anonymous
- Also may want to add quality of life change to anonymous posts
pick random user name (e.g. anonymous beaver) when posting instead of just
Anonymous

'anonymous' field in PostObject and TopicObject schemas.
