David Rosa 02eec29433 docs: Rename setup-vagrant.md -> setup-recommended.md.
Renames the filename so that it accurately reflects its contents
given the changes to the "Recommended setup" page in the previous
commit, and updates all links accordingly.

David Rosa cdc9a64c21 docs: Fix development environment setup on Windows.
Windows users end up having to follow an odd chain of links because
the recommended installation instructions live on a different
page than the rest of the instructions about the environment setup.

All the tutorials about recommended install prerequisites for each
platform should be on the same page.

This moves the section about using WSL 2 from the advanced setup page
to the recommended environment setup tutorial page.

Renames sidebar and section titles to more accurately reflect the
information in the Recommended setup vs. the Advanced setup page.
Updates relevant text and links accordingly.

Fixes: #13696.

Zixuan James Li 6b527dfa61 integrations: Add documentation for the event filtering system.
We create "event-filter-instruction.md" and add it to
"create-bot-construct-url.md". This allows the user to keep track of the
supported event types for most of the integrations that implement this
feature. Note that not all integrations use "create-bot-construct-url.md".

We also need to rename "function" to "view_function" to make this change
type-check.

This is relevant to #18392.

Mateusz Mandera 16829bd84b auth: Fix up AzureAD Oauth2 docs and config.
This commit brings AzureAD config in line with other backends:
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_SECRET gets fetched in computed_settings.py
  instead of default_settings, consistent with github/gitlab/etc.
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY gets fetched in default_settings via
  get_secret(..., development_only=True) like other social backends, to
  allow easier set up in dev environment, in the dev-secrets.conf file.
- The secret gets renamed from azure_oauth2_secret to
  social_auth_azuread_oauth2_secret to have a consistent naming scheme with
  other social backends and with the SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY
  name. This is backwards-incompatible.

The instructions for setting it up are updated to fit how this is
currently done in AzureAD.

Lauryn Menard 878b46e758 urls: Simplify process to add URL redirects for documentation pages.
Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.

This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).

Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.

Fixes #21946. Fixes #17897.

David Rosa 5cac44be06 docs: Reorganize sections and pages about contributing to Zulip.
We should rearrange Zulip's developer docs to make it easier to
find the documentation that new contributors need.

Name changes
Rename "Code contribution guide" section -> "Contributing to Zulip".
Rename "Contributing to Zulip" page -> "Contributing guide".

Organizational changes to the newly-named "Contributing to Zulip":
Move up "Contributing to Zulip", as the third link in sidebar index.
Move up renamed "Contributing guide" page to the top of this section.
Move up "Zulip code of Conduct", as the second link of this section.
Move down "Licensing", as the last link of this section.
Move "Accessibility" just below "HTML and CSS" in Subsystems section.

Update all links according to the changes above.
Redirects should be added as needed.

Zixuan James Li 965ed728e1 type_debug: Remove type_debug.
This module was originally introduced in 2016 to assist adding mypy
annotations to the project. Back then static type checking was not that
established throughout the codebase, so it was helpful to be able to
print out the types for type checking purposes.

This workflow is no longer helpful for improving type annotations right
now, and it has been unused for a while.

Alex Vandiver 4fd51cb5ad uwsgi: Increase request buffer size to 64k, from 8k default.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).

ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].

nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`.  The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.

Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.

uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out."  Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.
