This does not rely on the desktop app being able to register for the
zulip:// scheme (which is problematic with, for example, the AppImage
format).
It also is a better interface for managing changes to the system,
since the implementation exists almost entirely in the server/webapp
project.
This provides a smoother user experience, where the user doesn't need
to do the paste step, when combined with
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-desktop/pull/943.
Fixes#13613.

Includes this change:
* openapi/python_examples: Update get_single_user.
This updates get_single_user to pass keyword arguments to
get_user_by_id instead of passing a dictionary.
Which is required for CI to pass, as we indeed fixed the API of that
function (which had only been present with the wrong API for one release).
Versions should not be pinned in *.in unless specific circumstances
merit an exception to this rule. Every existing exception is
commented.

Upgrade libthumbor in main zulip venv. This version drops support
for python 2 and runs on py>=3.6.
As such, it is our first commit taking advantage of our having dropped support
for Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial, our previous Python 3.5-based platforms.
This guarantees that we don’t accidentally upgrade one without the
other, which could happen for example due to different third-party
version constraints between the two.

For upgrade-zulip-from-git to work, we need to be able to run
update-prod-static on production systems, which means provision code
like this cairosvg logic needs to be there for now.
When creating a webhook integration or creating a new one, it is a pain to
create or update the screenshots in the documentation. This commit adds a
tool that can trigger a sample notification for the webhook using a fixture,
that is likely already written for the tests.
Currently, the developer needs to take a screenshot manually, but this could
be automated using puppeteer or something like that.
Also, the tool does not support webhooks with basic auth, and only supports
webhooks that use json fixtures. These can be fixed in subsequent commits.
In the past it has blocked Python library security updates with overly
strict version bounds, and we don’t use it as a library, only as a
binary.
Skip the PROVISION_VERSION bump because we can use the tx binary from
either location.

python 3.8 support for python-api-bindings was fixed in commit
63bc9b8a4f
so upgraded python-api-bindings to tag 0.6.3 which included this fix.
Bumped PROVISION_VERSION.
importlib-metadata and importlib-resources are dependent packages for jsonschema
and cfn-lint respectively. They are built-in modules in later versions
of python (3.8, 3.7). When update-locked-requirements is run within python3.7 or
3.8 they will generate difference in locked files so we build these modules separately
to avoid such conflicts.
transifex-client0.13.4 did not support python3.8 so updated
it to the latest version. Earlier we kept transifex-client version to
0.13.4 as transifex-client0.13.5 added overly strict version bounds
on six and urllib3. With the latest version this is not the case.
Bumped provision version.
Those docs were outdated and no longer represantative of how things
work. upgrade-python-dependencies and unupgradable.json are no longer a
thing, so the entire paragraph about them should be removed.
Then the requirements/README.md file is refreshed a bit to be more
accurate.
We had a bunch of ugly hacks to monkey patch things due to upstream
being temporarily unmaintained and not merging PRs. Now the project is
active again and the fixes have been merged and included in the latest
version - so we clean up all that code.
Django 2.2.x is the next LTS release after Django 1.11.x; I expect
we'll be on it for a while, as Django 3.x won't have an LTS release
series out for a while.
Because of upstream API changes in Django, this commit includes
several changes beyond requirements and:
* urls: django.urls.resolvers.RegexURLPattern has been replaced by
django.urls.resolvers.URLPattern; affects OpenAPI code and related
features which re-parse Django's internals.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28593
* test_runner: Change number to suffix. Django changed the name in this
ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28578
* Delete now-unnecessary SameSite cookie code (it's now the default).
* forms: urlsafe_base64_encode returns string in Django 2.2.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/utils/#django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_encode
* upload: Django's File.size property replaces _get_size().
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/_modules/django/core/files/base/
* process_queue: Migrate to new autoreload API.
* test_messages: Add an extra query caused by .refresh_from_db() losing
the .select_related() on the Realm object.
* session: Sync SessionHostDomainMiddleware with Django 2.2.
There's a lot more we can do to take advantage of the new release;
this is tracked in #11341.
Many changes by Tim Abbott, Umair Waheed, and Mateusz Mandera squashed
are squashed into this commit.
Fixes#10835.
responses is an module analogous to httpretty for mocking external
URLs, with a very similar interface (potentially cleaner in that it
makes use of context managers).
The most important (in the moment) problem with httpretty is that it
breaks the ability to use redis in parts of code where httpretty is
enabled. From more research, the module in general has tendency to
have various troublesome bugs with breaking URLs that it shouldn't be
affecting, caused by it working at the socket interface layer. While
those issues could be fixed, responses seems to be less buggy (based
on both third-party reports like ckan/ckan#4755 and our own experience
in removing workarounds for bugs in httpretty) and is more actively
maintained.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

For a long time, we've been only doing the zxcvbn password strength
checks on the browser, which is helpful, but means users could through
hackery (or a bug in the frontend validation code) manage to set a
too-weak password. We fix this by running our password strength
validation on the backend as well, using python-zxcvbn.
In theory, a bug in python-zxcvbn could result in it producing a
different opinion than the frontend version; if so, it'd be a pretty
bad bug in the library, and hopefully we'd hear about it from users,
report upstream, and get it fixed that way. Alternatively, we can
switch to shelling out to node like we do for KaTeX.
Fixes#6880.
Send the `csrftoken` and `sessionid` cookies with `SameSite=Lax`.
This adds a layer of defense against CSRF attacks and matches the new
default in Django 2.1:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/releases/2.1/#samesite-cookies
This can be reverted when we upgrade to Django ≥ 2.1.

It happens that commonmark, python-jose, and python-twitter don’t
actually use future on Python 3, and moto uses aws-xray-sdk in such a
way that it doesn’t use future, but this was a weird game to be
playing just to remove one dependency, and it caused CI failures after
new releases of future, so let’s just include it.

This avoids expensive `git clone` operations during provisioning and
installation, and will also allow us to use `pip-compile
