There was a bug where the frequent posters were reordered by the date of their most recent post in the topic, with older posts preferred. This hid posters who should have been displayed (e.g. someone with the most posts and the second most recent post). This PR fixes the bug and improves the selection with better visibility for recent discussion and new participants.

New display logic: The topic list shows up to five posters in this order: the OP, two frequent posters, and two recent posters. Recent posters are excluded from frequent posters, and the OP is excluded from both. The latest poster is handled separately and replaces a recent poster unless the OP is the latest poster.
