Convert `findPostsByIds` and `loadIntoIdentityMap` to async functions in `PostSt…ream` to resolve a race condition when loading posts. This ensures proper sequencing of asynchronous operations and improves reliability in loading post data. This PR addresses the issue reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-web-page-continuously-loads-previous-posts-and-automatically-scrolls-up-quickly/391192 There are no tests added because I can't find a way to reliably reproduce the issue in tests and verify it's properly fixed.
