This PR is a major change to Sass compilation in Discourse.
The new version of sass-ruby moves to dart-sass putting we back on the supported version of Sass. It does so while keeping compatibility with the existing method signatures, so minimal change is needed in Discourse for this change.
This moves us
From:
- sassc 2.0.1 (Feb 2019)
- libsass 3.5.2 (May 2018)
To:
- dart-sass 1.58

SCSS files have been migrated automatically using `sass-migrator division app/assets/stylesheets/**/*.scss`
We've had a couple of problems with the R2 gem where it generated a broken RTL CSS bundle that caused a badly broken layout when Discourse is used in an RTL language, see a3ce93b and 5926386. For this reason, we're replacing R2 with `rtlcss` that can handle modern CSS features better than R2 does.
`rltcss` is written in JS and available as an npm package. Calling the `rltcss` from rubyland is done via the `rtlcss_wrapper` gem which contains a distributable copy of the `rtlcss` package and loads/calls it with Mini Racer. See https://github.com/discourse/rtlcss_wrapper for more details.
Internal topic: t/76263.
In this PR, we're making sure when a theme upload which is used in the theme's CSS is missing it won't break the stylesheet precompilation process. See also: 6ebd2cecda
Previously the stylesheet cachebusting hash was based on the maximum mtime of files. This works well in development and during in-container updates (e.g. via docker_manager). However, when a fresh docker image is created for each deploy, the file mtimes will change even if the contents has not.
This commit changes the production logic to calculate the cachebuster from the filenames and contents of the relevant assets. This should be consistent across deploys, thereby improving cache hits and improving page load times.
Previously, when the array had both nil and string values it returned the error "comparison of NilClass with String failed". Now I added the `.compact` method to prevent this issue as per @martin-brennan's suggestion https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18431#discussion_r984204788
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Preload resources via link header (#18475)" (#18511)"
This reverts commit 95a57f7e0c.
* put behind feature flag
* env -> global setting
* declare global setting
* forgot one spot
Experiment moving from preload tags in the document head to preload information the the response headers.
While this is a minor improvement in most browsers (headers are parsed before the response body), this allows smart proxies like Cloudflare to "learn" from those headers and build HTTP 103 Early Hints for subsequent requests to the same URI, which will allow the user agent to download and parse our JS/CSS while we are waiting for the server to generate and stream the HTML response.

This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like

Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
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.
