Tim Abbott e6340c6e54 docs: Make production unreleased documentation notices more visible.
Previously, Google might take you to /latest rather than /stable, and
you might get information about the next release, not the current one.

Fixes #13056.

Tim Abbott 6041c277a9 docs: Fix single-service deployment docs.
Apparently, the ordering matters.

This command now matches what we use for installing single-purpose
installations; I should have checked this directly.

Tim Abbott 92d8c5dec6 docs: Recommend zulip::base when deploying subsets of Zulip.
One needs to explicitly request zulip::base, it appears.  Ideally,
we'd just have every ruleset depend on zulip::base, but I seem to
recall Puppet didn't like your including the same module from multiple
places.  Worth testing as a follow-up investigation.

This was missed because we use the zulip_ops rules internally, which
include zulip::base via zulip_ops::base.

Tim Abbott ee63f68140 docs: Add links from SSL docs to our desktop app SSL guide.

Hemanth V. Alluri dac068df31 production: Finish adding production support for Zulip on Debian Buster.
This commit finishes adding end-to-end support for the install script
on Debian Buster (making it production ready). Some support for this
was already added in prior commits such as
99414e2d96.

We plan to revert the postgres hunks of this once we've built
tsearch_extras for our packagecloud archive.

Fixes #9828.

Tej Pochiraju cb10a3231c docs: Discuss outgoing email senders in email.md.
Outgoing email documentation should mention that the SMTP server needs
to allow emails originating from ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR as well as the
noreply email addresses; previously, one would typically find this out
using the test tool, which was not ideal.

Substantially tweaked by tabbott for organization and content.

Harshit Bansal bf14a0af4d auth: Migrate google auth to python-social-auth.
This replaces the two custom Google authentication backends originally
written in 2012 with using the shared python-social-auth codebase that
we already use for the GitHub authentication backend.  These are:

* GoogleMobileOauth2Backend, the ancient code path for mobile
  authentication last used by the EOL original Zulip Android app.

* The `finish_google_oauth2` code path in zerver/views/auth.py, which
  was the webapp (and modern mobile app) Google authentication code
  path.

This change doesn't fix any known bugs; its main benefit is that we
get to remove hundreds of lines of security-sensitive semi-duplicated
code, replacing it with a widely trusted, high quality third-party
library.

Tim Abbott bb746ab93b docs: Discourage direct mobile push notifications more strongly.
We had an organization with engineers for whom English was not their

Tim Abbott 361618f525 docs: Clarify documentation on Amazon RDS.
It's not actually a reasonable experience to use Zulip without working
full-text search, so we should more strongly direct folks to not do
it.

Greg Price b6ce366d61 docs: Add a comment explaining the fancy conditional-include syntax.
We only use it in this one place, so a comment right here seems the
most discoverable place to put it.  If we started using it more...
probably the section in docs/documentation/overview.md about the
dev/sysadmin docs system should split off into a new file, and this
info would become a subsection there.

Puneeth Chaganti 717d1e504d ldap: Turn off the AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER setting.
The `AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER` is `True` by default, and this would sync the
attributes defined in the `AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP` to the user profile. But,
the default code in `django-auth-ldap` would work correctly only for `full_name`
field. This commit disables the setting by default, in favour of using the
`sync_ldap_user_data` script as a cron job.

Rishi Gupta 529d424bed docs: Add numbering to import section of export-and-import.md.
The numbers are in parens to avoid the markdown processor interpreting them

Kouhei Sutou a046a0957b docs: Fix upgrade process for Ubuntu 16.04 -> 18.04.
We need to disable "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga" in zulip-puppet-apply
by creating /usr/share/postgresql/10/pgroonga_setup.sql.applied.
Because PostgreSQL 10 isn't running in this case. If PostgreSQL 10
isn't running, we can't run "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga".

We can't use pg_upgrade with PGroonga. PGroonga's install SQL
https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/master/data/pgroonga.sql has
conditions to support multiple PostgreSQL versions. So it's not safe
to use pg_upgrade. pg_upgrade copies metadata for PostgreSQL 9.5 to
PostgreSQL 10. We need to use pg_dump and pg_restore to upgrade
PGroonga correctly for PostgreSQL 10.

Tim Abbott e566cad1da docs: Add OS upgrade step to remove upstart.
It's not required on Ubuntu Xenial (having been replaced by systemd)
and causes problems when installing/upgrading other packages; this

Tim Abbott 18146ed947 script: Add static asset pipeline option to support OS upgrades.
The comment explains this in more detail, but basically one previously
needed the `--from-git` option to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` if one had
last installed/upgraded from Git, and not that option otherwise, which
would have forced us to make the OS upgrade documentation much more
complicated than it needed to be.

Tim Abbott 5d2984fb46 docs: Document upgrading the version of Ubuntu.
One longstanding gap in our production documentation is how to

days to make sure it's bulletproof.

Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Fixes: #11087.
