There several reasons why PRs cannot have (public) previews:
- The PR did not affect any relevant files (e.g. non-spec files in
`aio/` or `packages/`).
- The PR cannot be automatically verified as "trusted" (based on its
author or labels).
Note:
The endpoint does not check whether there currently is a (public)
preview for the specified PR; only whether there can be one.

Now instead of pushing the AIO build artifacts to the preview server
from inside a Travis job, the artifacts are built and hosted on the
CircleCI infrastructure. The preview server will then pull these
down after being triggered by a CircleCI build webhook.
This commit adds an API endpoint for notifying the preview server about PR
updates (`/pr-updated`). According to the update, the preview server can take
several actions. Currently, it will only check and (if necessary) update the
PR's preview visibility (but more actions could be supported in the future).
The API can be used with an automatic trigger (e.g. a GitHub webhook) to
instantly update a PR's preview visibility when it changes.
Fixes#16526
Use the 7 first characters of the 40-chars long SHAs for shorter/cleaner URLs.
The collision probability is extremely low (since all SHAs are further
"namespaced" under the corresponding PR). In case of a collision, the second PR
will not be deployed, in order to avoid overwriting the original build.
(This is a design decision to keep the implementation simple. It can be changed
later if necessary.)
This reverts commit d0bc83ca27.
Protractor-based prerendering is flakey on Travis and takes several minutes to
complete, slowing down the build. Prerendering has a lower impact now that we
use a ServiceWorker. We will revisit in the future (probably using a
`PlatformServer`-based approach).
