When creating a DM to a group in chat, we show a count of users for that group …if the number of users exceeds SiteSetting.chat_max_direct_message_users. However, we were also counting bot users here, we should only be counting human users, this led to confusion because the chat group count was different from the one on e.g. /g/:group_name
