FIX: Bypass `AnonymousCache` for `/srv/status` route. (#11491)
`/srv/status` routes should not be cached at all. Also, we want to
decouple the route from Redis which `AnonymouseCache` relies on. The
`/srv/status` should continue to return a success response even if Redis
is down.

PERF: backoff background requests when overloaded (#10888)
When the server gets overloaded and lots of requests start queuing server
will attempt to shed load by returning 429 errors on background requests.

The client can flag a request as background by setting the header:
`Discourse-Background` to `true`

Out-of-the-box we shed load when the queue time goes above 0.5 seconds.

The only request we shed at the moment is the request to load up a new post
when someone posts to a topic.

We can extend this as we go with a more general pattern on the client.

Previous to this change, rate limiting would "break" the post stream which
would make suggested topics vanish and users would have to scroll the page
to see more posts in the topic.

Server needs this protection for cases where tons of clients are navigated
to a topic and a new post is made. This can lead to a self inflicted denial
of service if enough clients are viewing the topic.

Due to the internal security design of Discourse it is hard for a large
number of clients to share a channel where we would pass the full post body
via the message bus.

It also renames (and deprecates) triggerNewPostInStream to triggerNewPostsInStream

This allows us to load a batch of new posts cleanly, so the controller can
keep track of a backlog

Krzysztof Kotlarek 427d54b2b0 DEV: Upgrading Discourse to Zeitwerk (#8098)
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains. 

We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard 
Ruby patterns to require files.

This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.

Sam Saffron ed00f35306 FEATURE: improve performance of anonymous cache
This commit introduces 2 features:

1. DISCOURSE_COMPRESS_ANON_CACHE (true|false, default false): this allows
you to optionally compress the anon cache body entries in Redis, can be
useful for high load sites with Redis that lives on a separate server to
to webs

2. DISCOURSE_ANON_CACHE_STORE_THRESHOLD (default 2), only pop entries into
redis if we observe them more than N times. This avoids situations where
a crawler can walk a big pile of topics and store them all in Redis never
to be used. Our default anon cache time for topics is only 60 seconds. Anon
cache is in place to avoid the "slashdot" effect where a single topic is
hit by 100s of people in one minute.

Sam Saffron 4ea21fa2d0 DEV: use #frozen_string_literal: true on all spec
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

- Drops `key` column from the `themes` table
- Drops `theme_key` column from the `user_options` table
- Adds `theme_ids` (array of ints default []) column to the `user_options` table and migrates data from `theme_key` to the new column.
- Removes the `default_theme_key` site setting and adds `default_theme_id` instead.
- Replaces `theme_key` cookie with a new one called `theme_ids`
- no longer need Theme.settings_for_client

Sam ded84a4b58 PERF: improve performance once logged in rate limiter hits
If "logged in" is being forced anonymous on certain routes, trigger
the protection for any requests that spend 50ms queueing

This means that ...

1. You need to trip it by having 3 requests take longer than 1 second in 10 second interval
2. Once tripped, if your route is still spending 50m queueuing it will continue to be protected

This means that site will continue to function with almost no delays while it is scaling up to handle the new load

Sam 59cd7894d9 FEATURE: if site is under extreme load show anon view
If a particular path is being hit extremely hard by logged on users,
revert to anonymous cached view.

This will only come into effect if 3 requests queue for longer than 2 seconds
on a *single* path.

This can happen if a URL is shared with the entire forum base and everyone
is logged on

Andy Waite 3e50313fdc Prepare for separation of RSpec helper files
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`

`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).

For more information:

https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files

In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.

This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.

At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
