If a plugin's JS fails to load for some reason, most commonly
ad blockers, the entire admin interface would break. This is because
we are adding links to the admin routes for plugins that define
them in the sidebar.
We have a fix for this already in the plugin list which shows a warning
to the admin. This fix just prevents the broken link from rendering
in the sidebar if the route is not valid.
For plugins with only an "enabled" site setting, it doesn't
make sense to take them to the site settings page, since the
toggle switch in the list can be used to change enabled/disabled.
This will not be the case for plugins that have their own custom
config page (like Automation), but we will deal with this when
we actually overhaul this plugin to use the new show page.
Also adds another rspec fixture of a test plugin.
* Simplify config nav link generation to always inject the Settings
tab
* Auto-redirect to the first non-settings config link (if there is one)
when the user lands on /admin/plugins/:plugin_id
* Add `extras` to admin plugin serializer so plugins can add more
data on first load
* Add PikadayCalendar page object for system specs, extracted from the
CalendarDateTimePicker to make it more generic.
This commit changes the API for registering the plugin config
page nav configuration from a server-side to a JS one;
there is no need for it to be server-side.
It also makes some changes to allow for 2 different ways of displaying
navigation for plugin pages, depending on complexity:
* TOP - This is the best mode for simple plugins without a lot of different
custom configuration pages, and it reuses the grey horizontal nav bar
already used for admins.
* SIDEBAR - This is better for more complex plugins; likely this won't
be used in the near future, but it's readily available if needed
There is a new AdminPluginConfigNavManager service too to manage which
plugin the admin is actively viewing, otherwise we would have trouble
hiding the main plugin nav for admins when viewing a single plugin.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.

Followup e37fb3042d
* Automatically remove the prefix `Discourse ` from all the plugin titles to avoid repetition
* Remove the :discourse_dev: icon from the author. Consider a "By Discourse" with no labels as official
* We add a `label` metadata to plugin.rb
* Only plugins made by us in `discourse` and `discourse-org` GitHub organizations will show these in the list
* Make the plugin author font size a little smaller
* Make the commit sha look like a link so it's more obvious it goes to the code
Also I added some validation and truncation for plugin metadata
parsing since currently you can put absolutely anything in there
and it will show on the plugin list.
* Remove checkmark for official plugins
* Add author for plugin, which is By Discourse for all discourse
and discourse-org github plugins
* Link to meta topic instead of github repo
* Add experimental flag for plugin metadata and show this as a
badge on the plugin list if present

For the admin plugin list we want to be able to link to
a meta topic for plugins, but we have no standard way to
do this at the moment. This adds support for meta_topic_id
alongside other plugin metadata like authors, URL etc,
that gets built into a Meta topic URL in the serializer.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
