Backups are written every 16k of WAL archive, and by default do not
have an upper limit on how out of date they are, as `archive_timeout`
defaults to 0.
Also emphasize that these are streaming backups, not just one
point-in-time backup daily.
Fixes#21976.
This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them. See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.
Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved. This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.
Fixes#13264.

We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another. However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

PostgreSQL 11 and below used a configuration file names
`recovery.conf` to manage replicas and standbys; support for this was
removed in PostgreSQL 12[1], and the configuration parameters were
moved into the main `postgresql.conf`.
Add `zulip.conf` settings for the primary server hostname and
replication username, so that the complete `postgresql.conf`
configuration on PostgreSQL 14 can continue to be managed, even when
replication is enabled. For consistency, also begin writing out the
`recovery.conf` for PostgreSQL 11 and below.
In PostgreSQL 12 configuration and later, the `wal_level =
hot_standby` setting is removed, as `hot_standby` is equivalent to
`replica`, which is the default value[2]. Similarly, the
`hot_standby = on` setting is also the default[3].
Documentation is added for these features, and the commentary on the
"Export and Import" page referencing files under `puppet/zulip_ops/`
is removed, as those files no longer have any replication-specific
configuration.

Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.
Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services. It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.
Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
Fixes#14959.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
wal-g was used in `puppet/zulip` by env-wal-g, but only installed in
`puppet/zulip_ops`.
Merge all of the dependencies of doing backups using wal-g (wal-g
installation, the pg_backup_and_purge job, the nagios plugin that
verifies it happens) into a common base class in `puppet/zulip`, since
it is generally useful.
We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
The previous documentation was essentially wrong, in that it
recommended copying certain settings that would cause significant
problems post-import if they were indeed copied.
* Moves "Management commands" to a top-level section.
* Moves "Scalability" as a subsection at the bottom of "Requirements".
* Moves "Monitoring" as a subsections at the bottom of "Troubleshooting".
* Replaces "API and your Zulip URL" with a link to REST API docs. This
documentation text has been irrelevant for some time.
* Removes maintain-secure-upgrade from the TOC but the file remains to
avoid breaking old links from release blog posts and emails.
