Corepack manages multiple per-project version of Yarn and PNPM, which
means we have to maintain less installation code, and could help us
switch away from Yarn 1 without making the system unusable for
development of other Yarn 1 projects.

The Unicode spaces in the timerender test resulted from an ICU

Although Node.js 18 is not the active LTS release for another 3 weeks,
the Node.js 16 end-of-life date was moved forward to September 2023,
(https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol/), so it seems
prudent to switch now.

This removes a possible window where an installer error could leave
`nvm` in a state where it had prepended the full path to the
newly-installed `npm` to `$PATH`; we would like to avoid `nvm`
fiddling with path whenever possible (ref ebe930ab2c).
Previous versions of zulip used `nvm alias default ...` to have `nvm`
prepend the full path to the latest `node` install to the `PATH` in
root's shell. Unfortunately, this means that `update-prod-static`,
when called from `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` after an upgrade of node in
`install-node`, would still have the full path to the _old_ `node` at
the start of its PATH, because the PATH of `upgrade-zulip-stage-2`
would still be unchanged.
Bootstrap out of this by setting a known-reasonable PATH during
upgrade, and remove the problematic `nvm alias default` behaviour.
Fixes#18258.
Since in travis we don't have root access so we used to add different
srv path. As now we shifted our production suites to Circle CI
we don't need that code so removed it.
Also we used a hacky code in commit-lint-message for travis which is
now of no use.
API changes:
* The behaviour of Date.toLocaleTimeString() reverts to pre 8.0.0,
this only affects automated tests. Lots of other API changes but
we didn't use any of those.
* The internal sorting algorithm changed which causes one of our own
compare function to miss coverage.
In addition to upgrading dependencies being generally useful, this may
fix situations where yarn fails but returns a success status code in the
presence of an HTTP proxy.
Since yarn has a package.json conveniently available, we can parse
that with jq, saving the expensive operation of starting up yarn.
This saves ~300ms in a no-op provision.
For building Zulip in an environment where a custom CA certificate is
required to access the public Internet, one needs to be able to
specify that CA certificate for all network access done by the Zulip
installer/build process. This change allows configuring that via the
environment.
