This overhauls the user interface for the group email settings management, aiming to make it a lot easier to test the settings entered and confirm they are correct before proceeding. We do this by forcing the user to test the settings before they can be saved to the database. It also includes some quality of life improvements around setting up IMAP and SMTP for our first supported provider, GMail. This PR does not remove the old group email config, that will come in a subsequent PR. This is related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/imap-support-for-group-inboxes/160588 so read that if you would like more backstory.
### UI
Both site settings of `enable_imap` and `enable_smtp` must be true to test this. You must enable SMTP first to enable IMAP.
You can prefill the SMTP settings with GMail configuration. To proceed with saving these settings you must test them, which is handled by the EmailSettingsValidator.
If there is an issue with the configuration or credentials a meaningful error message should be shown.
IMAP settings must also be validated when IMAP is enabled, before saving.
When saving IMAP, we fetch the mailboxes for that account and populate them. This mailbox must be selected and saved for IMAP to work (the feature acts as though it is disabled until the mailbox is selected and saved):
### Database & Backend
This adds several columns to the Groups table. The purpose of this change is to make it much more explicit that SMTP/IMAP is enabled for a group, rather than relying on settings not being null. Also included is an UPDATE query to backfill these columns. These columns are automatically filled when updating the group.
For GMail, we now filter the mailboxes returned. This is so users cannot use a mailbox like Sent or Trash for syncing, which would generally be disastrous.
There is a new group endpoint for testing email settings. This may be useful in the future for other places in our UI, at which point it can be extracted to a more generic endpoint or module to be included.
Adds a new column/setting to groups, allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies, which is default false. When enabled, this scenario is allowed via IMAP:
* OP sends an email to the support email address which is synced to a group inbox via IMAP, creating a group topic
* Group user replies to the group topic
* An email notification is sent to the OP of the topic via GroupSMTPMailer
* The OP has several email accounts and the reply is sent to all of them, or they forward their reply to another email account
* The OP replies from a different email address than the OP (gloria@gmail.com instead of gloria@hey.com for example)
* The a new staged user is created, the new reply is accepted and added to the topic, and the staged user is added to the topic allowed users
Without allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies enabled the new reply creates an entirely new topic (because the email address it is sent from is not previously part of the topic email chain).
Groups page was loading fields that are only used on the group show
page, so move those fields to the GroupShowSerializer.
Also only fetch the default category and tag notifications once.
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
* Split alias levels in mentionable and messageable levels.
* Fixed some tests.
* Set messageable level to everyone by default.
* By defaults, groups are not mentionable or messageable.
* Made staff groups messageable by the system.
