It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
Extracted commonly used spec helpers into spec/support/uploads_helpers.rb, removed unused stubs and let definitions. Makes it easier to write new S3-related specs without copy and pasting setup steps from other specs.
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 gives more control over the request. In particular we can easily
lookup DNS dynamically, instead of only upon NGINX startup.
Previously, NGINX was looking up IP for the letter avatar service and
caching the CDN IP address, this caused issues if CDN changed IP, in
which letter avatars would be broken till a container restarted.
NGINX config has been updated to add caching. This change will require
a container rebuild.
The proxy will now function in development environments, so the patch
for `letter_avatar_proxy` has been removed.
Previously we killed caching on old avatars cause we kept serving blank
this meant we would front many more avatar requests after a version change
This change ensures all old avatars do not cause a flood of requests on the
server
In some cases Akami was holding tight to these invalid avatars,
to avoid this happening we explain the avatar image is ancient
then when a new upload is added it automatically is older than
this.
