Anders Kaseorg 75525f5b53 docs: Convert .html#fragment links to .md#fragment.
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.

Anders Kaseorg c19d6fb3ef docs: Clean redundant relative links.
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.

Anders Kaseorg 1fa2761790 upgrade-zulip-stage-2: Remove create_large_indexes optimization.
This was only used for upgrading from Zulip < 1.9.0, which is no
longer possible because Zulip < 2.1.0 had no common supported
platforms with current main.

If we ever want this optimization for a future migration, it would be
better implemented using Django merge migrations.

Alex Vandiver a5496f4098 CVE-2021-43799: Set a secure Erlang cookie.
The RabbitMQ docs state ([1]):

    RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools (e.g. rabbitmqctl) use a cookie to
    determine whether they are allowed to communicate with each
    other. [...] The cookie is just a string of alphanumeric
    characters up to 255 characters in size. It is usually stored in a
    local file.

...and goes on to state (emphasis ours):

    If the file does not exist, Erlang VM will try to create one with
    a randomly generated value when the RabbitMQ server starts
    up. Using such generated cookie files are **appropriate in
    development environments only.**

The auto-generated cookie does not use cryptographic sources of
randomness, and generates 20 characters of `[A-Z]`.  Because of a
semi-predictable seed, the entropy of this password is thus less than
the idealized 26^20 = 94 bits of entropy; in actuality, it is 36 bits
of entropy, or potentially as low as 20 if the performance of the
server is known.

These sizes are well within the scope of remote brute-force attacks.

On provision, install, and upgrade, replace the default insecure
20-character Erlang cookie with a cryptographically secure
255-character string (the max length allowed).

Alex Vandiver a46f6df91e CVE-2021-43799: Write rabbitmq configuration before starting.
Zulip writes a `rabbitmq.config` configuration file which locks down
RabbitMQ to listen only on localhost:5672, as well as the RabbitMQ
distribution port, on localhost:25672.

The "distribution port" is part of Erlang's clustering configuration;
while it is documented that the protocol is fundamentally
insecure ([1], [2]) and can result in remote arbitrary execution of
code, by default the RabbitMQ configuration on Debian and Ubuntu
leaves it publicly accessible, with weak credentials.

The configuration file that Zulip writes, while effective, is only
written _after_ the package has been installed and the service
started, which leaves the port exposed until RabbitMQ or system
restart.

Ensure that rabbitmq's `/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config` is written
before rabbitmq is installed or starts, and that changes to that file
trigger a restart of the service, such that the ports are only ever
bound to localhost.  This does not mitigate existing installs, since
it does not force a rabbitmq restart.

Alex Vandiver 43d63bd5a1 puppet: Always set the RabbitMQ nodename to zulip@localhost.
This is required in order to lock down the RabbitMQ port to only
listen on localhost.  If the nodename is `rabbit@hostname`, in most
circumstances the hostname will resolve to an external IP, which the
rabbitmq port will not be bound to.

Installs which used `rabbit@hostname`, due to RabbitMQ having been
installed before Zulip, would not have functioned if the host or
RabbitMQ service was restarted, as the localhost restrictions in the
RabbitMQ configuration would have made rabbitmqctl (and Zulip cron
jobs that call it) unable to find the rabbitmq server.

The previous commit ensures that configure-rabbitmq is re-run after
the nodename has changed.  However, rabbitmq needs to be stopped
before `rabbitmq-env.conf` is changed; we use an `onlyif` on an `exec`
to print the warning about the node change, and let the subsequent
config change and notify of the service and configure-rabbitmq to
complete the re-configuration.

This replaces the TERMS_OF_SERVICE and PRIVACY_POLICY settings with
just a POLICIES_DIRECTORY setting, in order to support settings (like
Zulip Cloud) where there's more policies than just those two.

Alex Vandiver c33562f0a8 puppet: Default to installing smokescreen on application frontends.
This is an additional security hardening step, to make Zulip default
to preventing SSRF attacks.  The overhead of running Smokescreen is
minimal, and there is no reason to force deployments to take
additional steps in order to secure themselves against SSRF attacks.

Deployments which already have a different external proxy configured
will not gain a local Smokescreen installation, and running without
Smokescreen is supported by explicitly unsetting the `host` or `port`
values in `/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`.
