Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

Using curl to POST to the CircleCI workflow endpoint on CZO:
- Doesn't work on zulip/zulip@main (CZO runs a revert)
- Sets a bad example for other orgs
- Robs us of an opportunity to dogfood our own zulip/github-actions-zulip
Refactor the Actions workflows in this repo to report failure states
using the Zulip Action, and reimplement the related helper scripts in
Python, since they'd previously mostly shelled out to Python anyway.
Before Zulip 4.9, the Zulip install process left any already-installed
rabbitmq with whatever nodename it had previously configured. Wince
this encodes the name of the host when it was installed, this does not
function well with containers.
Leave rabbitmq-server uninstalled, which lets the Zulip installation
process set the nodename to `localhost`, which ensures that it is
usable across container restarts.
We’ve always been running CI on both push events and pull_request
events, which means it runs twice for commits that are pushed to a
pull request.
Filter the push events by branch name. Add the workflow_dispatch
event in case developers want to manually run CI on some other branch
that isn’t a pull request.

Comments out the steps in 'Create cache directories' that use
`actions/cache@2` so that the CI and production build can pass
while Github support issue is processed.
See https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/794 for an upstream report.
As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.8.
• Move Vagrant environment to Ubuntu 20.04, which has Python 3.8.
• Move CI frontend tests to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move production build test to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move 3.4 upgrade test to Ubuntu 20.04.

The job name is just the constant `production_build`. Renaming it to
have the OS in the key ensures that it is not shared across OS'es (for
instance between `4.x` and `main`, which are now bionic and buster,
respectively), and also allows it to share caches with the install
step, which uses the OS name in that place.
As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.7.
• Move Vagrant environment to Debian 10, which has Python 3.7.
• Move CI frontend tests to Debian 10.
• Move production build test to Debian 10.

It should not use the configured zulip username, but should instead
pull from the login user (likely `nagios`), or an explicit alternate
provided PostgreSQL username. Failure to do so results in Nagios
failures because the `nagios` login does not have permissions to
authenticated the `zulip` PostgreSQL user.
This requires CI changes, as the install tests install as the `zulip`
login username, which allowed Nagios tests to pass previously; with
the custom database and username, however, they must be passed to
process_fts_updates explicitly when validating the install.
Production installs do not use the zilencer application, but the tests
do include it; as such, changes to any files which reference zilencer
are more likely to pass tests but fail production installs.
Run production tests when those files are changed.
We make a few adjustments:
* We now run full CI whenever pushing to master. It's cheap enough
that it's worth getting accurate signal.
* We now don't run production tests on PRs for changes to JavaScript/CSS
in static/ that don't also affect the webpack configuration.
* We sort the list of paths that trigger tests.
When Github Actions run in Docker, the default pid 1 entrypoint is
`tail -f /dev/null`. PID 1 is responsible for propagating signals to
its children, and calling `waitpid()` on defunct processes; `tail`
does not do these things. This results in zombie processes piling up
inside the container, which is not an issue in most contexts.
However, it affects `start-stop-daemon`, which hangs when stopping
daemon processes, as they are never reaped. This appears in CI as
`/etc/init.d/supervisor restart` never being able to succeed.
Run the docker container with `--init`, which spawns a
`/sbin/docker-init` PID 1 to handle the job of an init process.
This ensures that we exercise the fact that the Zulip installer may be
unpacked to a directory that may not be world-readable.
bc45525369 fixed a recent regression in
this behavior that would have been caught by this commit.
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 had used 2>&1 to redirect stderr to stdout so it could be piped
into ts, but commit dd3cdd6ec5 (#17611)
removed ts, so we no longer need the redirection.

We support Debian as an OS for setting up the Zulip server. But the CI
does not run on pull request to test the setting up of the server on
Debian. Hence, add the check to CI.
