* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.

We already cache failed onebox URL requests client-side, we now want to cache this on the server-side for extra protection. failed onebox previews will be cached for 1 hour, and any more requests for that URL will fail with a 404 status. Forcing a rebake via the Rebake HTML action will delete the failed URL cache (like how the oneboxer preview cache is deleted).
Discourse.cache is a more consistent method to use and offers clean fallback
if you are skipping redis
This is part of a larger change that both optimizes Discoruse.cache and omits
use of setex on $redis in favor of consistently using discourse cache
Bench does reveal that use of Rails.cache and Discourse.cache is 1.25x slower
than redis.setex / get so a re-implementation will follow prior to porting
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
