All that the "HyperlinkedMessageField" is to ensure that reverse() gets
both the project primary key and the message id.  The actual URL that is
generated depends on the view_name.

There is a generic subclass of HyperlinkedIdentityField in the
drf-nested-routers package, that would avoid the need for this.
However, I couldn't get it to work. :)
