Adds a page to the general api documentation about HTTP headers,
so that information about the special response headers for rate
limits have a more logical location in the docs and so that other
HTTP header information can be shared, such as `User-Agent`
conventions.
Adjusts some text and linking on the rest-error-handling page and
overview page for the REST API for the addition of the HTTP headers
page.
Creates `MutableJsonResponse` as a subclass of Django's `HttpResponse`
that we can modify for ignored parameters in the response content.
Updates responses to include `ignored_parameters_unsupported` in
the response data through `has_request_variables`. Creates unit
test for this implementation in `test_decorators.py`.
The `method` parameter processed in `rest_dispatch` is not in the
`REQ` framework, so for any tests that pass that parameter, assert
for the ignored parameter with a comment.
Updates OpenAPI documentation for `ignored_parameters_unsupported`
being returned in the JSON success response for all endpoints.
Adds detailed documentation in the error handling article, and
links to that page in relevant locations throughout the API docs.
For the majority of endpoints, the documentation does not include
the array in any examples of return values, and instead links to
the error handling page. The exceptions are the three endpoints
that had previously supported this return value. The changes note
and example for these endpoints is also used in the error
handling page.
- Updates `.prettierignore` for the new directory.
- Updates any reference to the API documentation directory for
markdown files to be `api_docs/` instead of `zerver/api/`.
- Removes a reference link from `docs/documentation/api.md` that
hasn't referenced anything in the text since commit 0542c60.
- Update rendering of API documentation for new directory.
