Rewrite the test so that we don't have a dedicated URL for testing.
dev_update_subgroups is called directly from the tests without using the
test client.
**Background**
User groups are expected to comply with the DAG constraint for the
many-to-many inter-group membership. The check for this constraint has
to be performed recursively so that we can find all direct and indirect
subgroups of the user group to be added.
This kind of check is vulnerable to phantom reads which is possible at
the default read committed isolation level because we cannot guarantee
that the check is still valid when we are adding the subgroups to the
user group.
**Solution**
To avoid having another transaction concurrently update one of the
to-be-subgroup after the recursive check is done, and before the subgroup
is added, we use SELECT FOR UPDATE to lock the user group rows.
The lock needs to be acquired before a group membership change is about
to occur before any check has been conducted.
Suppose that we are adding subgroup B to supergroup A, the locking protocol
is specified as follows:
1. Acquire a lock for B and all its direct and indirect subgroups.
2. Acquire a lock for A.
For the removal of user groups, we acquire a lock for the user group to
be removed with all its direct and indirect subgroups. This is the special
case A=B, which is still complaint with the protocol.
**Error handling**
We currently rely on Postgres' deadlock detection to abort transactions
and show an error for the users. In the future, we might need some
recovery mechanism or at least better error handling.
**Notes**
An important note is that we need to reuse the recursive CTE query that
finds the direct and indirect subgroups when applying the lock on the
rows. And the lock needs to be acquired the same way for the addition and
removal of direct subgroups.
User membership change (as opposed to user group membership) is not
affected. Read-only queries aren't either. The locks only protect
critical regions where the user group dependency graph might violate
the DAG constraint, where users are not participating.
**Testing**
We implement a transaction test case targeting some typical scenarios
when an internal server error is expected to happen (this means that the
user group view makes the correct decision to abort the transaction when
something goes wrong with locks).
To achieve this, we add a development view intended only for unit tests.
It has a global BARRIER that can be shared across threads, so that we
can synchronize them to consistently reproduce certain potential race
conditions prevented by the database locks.
The transaction test case lanuches pairs of threads initiating possibly
conflicting requests at the same time. The tests are set up such that exactly N
of them are expected to succeed with a certain error message (while we don't
know each one).
**Security notes**
get_recursive_subgroups_for_groups will no longer fetch user groups from
other realms. As a result, trying to add/remove a subgroup from another
realm results in a UserGroup not found error response.
We also implement subgroup-specific checks in has_user_group_access to
keep permission managing in a single place. Do note that the API
currently don't have a way to violate that check because we are only
checking the realm ID now.
Moving `/user_avatars/` to being served partially through Django
removes the need for the `no_serve_uploads` nginx reconfiguring when
switching between S3 and local backends. This is important because a
subsequent commit will move S3 attachments to being served through
nginx, which would make `no_serve_uploads` entirely nonsensical of a
name.
Serve the files through Django, with an offload for the actual image
response to an internal nginx route. In development, serve the files
directly in Django.
We do _not_ mark the contents as immutable for caching purposes, since
the path for avatar images is hashed only by their user-id and a salt,
and as such are reused when a user's avatar is updated.
This fixes error found with django-stubs and it is a part of #18777.
Note that there are various remaining errors that need to be fixed in
upstream or elsewhere in our codebase.
Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

We previously used to to redirect to config error page with
a different URL. This commit renders config error in the same
URL where configuration error is encountered. This way when
conifguration error is fixed the user can refresh to continue
normally or go back to login page from the link provided to
choose any other backend auth.
Also moved those URLs to dev_urls.py so that they can be easily
accessed to work on styling etc.
In tests, removed some of the asserts checking status code to be 200
as the function `assert_in_success_response` does that check.
Calling `render()` in a middleware before LocaleMiddleware has run
will pick up the most-recently-set locale. This may be from the
_previous_ request, since the current language is thread-local. This
results in the "Organization does not exist" page occasionally being
in not-English, depending on the preferences of the request which that
thread just finished serving.
Move HostDomainMiddleware below LocaleMiddleware; none of the earlier
middlewares call `render()`, so are safe. This will also allow the
"Organization does not exist" page to be localized based on the user's
browser preferences.
Unfortunately, it also means that the default LocaleMiddleware catches
the 404 from the HostDomainMiddlware and helpfully tries to check if
the failure is because the URL lacks a language component (e.g.
`/en/`) by turning it into a 304 to that new URL. We must subclass
the default LocaleMiddleware to remove this unwanted functionality.
Doing so exposes a two places in tests that relied (directly or
indirectly) upon the redirection: '/confirmation_key'
was redirected to '/en/confirmation_key', since the non-i18n version
did not exist; and requests to `/stats/realm/not_existing_realm/`
incorrectly were expecting a 302, not a 404.
This regression likely came in during f00ff1ef62, since prior to
that, the HostDomainMiddleware ran _after_ the rest of the request had
completed.
Django treats path("<name>") like re_path(r"(?P<name>[^/]+)") and
path("<path:name>") like re_path(r"(?P<name>.+)").
This is more readable and consistent than the mix of slightly
different regexes we had before, and fixes various bugs:
• The r'apps/(.*)$' regex was missing a start anchor ^, so it
incorrectly matched all URLs that included apps/ as a substring
anywhere.
• The r'accounts/login/(google)/$' regex was missing a start anchor ^,
so it incorrectly matched all URLs that ended with
accounts/login/google/.
• The type annotation of zerver.views.realm_export.delete_realm_export
takes export_id as an int, but it was previously passed as a string.
• The type annotation of zerver.views.users.avatar takes medium as a
bool, but it was previously passed as a string.
• The [0-9A-Za-z]+ pattern for uidb64 was missing the - and _
characters that can validly be part of a base64url encoded
string (although I think the id is actually a decimal integer here,
in which case only 012345ADEIMNOQTUYcgjkwxyz are present in its
base64url encoding).

Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".
At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder. This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase. A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.
The test_docs change is because Django runs test cases with DEBUG =
False, which ordinarily means it doesn’t serve /static during tests.

This commit adds a new developer tool: The "integrations dev panel"
which will serve as a replacement for the send_webhook_fixture_message
management command as a way to test integrations with much greater ease.
Previously, zerver.views.registration.confirmation_key was only
available in development; now we make that more structurally clear by
moving it to the special zerver/views/development directory.
Fixes#11256.
Some urls are only available in the development environment
(dev_urls.py); Corresponding views (here email_log.py) is moved to the
new directory zerver/views/development.
Fixes#11256.
