We run the ember-this-fallback transformation on plugin and theme code so that they can continue omitting `this.` in `.hbs` templates. A bug in the implementation meant that it was incorrectly transforming things like `{{dir/some-component}}` into `<DirSomeComponent />` (rather than `<Dir::SomeComponent />`).
This commit uses patch-package to apply the fix from https://github.com/tildeio/ember-this-fallback/pull/56
Discourse core now builds and runs with Embroider! This commit adds
the Embroider-based build pipeline (`USE_EMBROIDER=1`) and start
testing it on CI.
The new pipeline uses Embroider's compat mode + webpack bundler to
build discourse code, and leave everything else (admin, wizard,
markdown-it, plugins, etc) exactly the same using the existing
Broccoli-based build as external bundles (<script> tags), passed
to the build as `extraPublicTress` (which just means they get
placed in the `/public` folder).
At runtime, these "external" bundles are glued back together with
`loader.js`. Specifically, the external bundles are compiled as
AMD modules (just as they were before) and registered with the
global `loader.js` instance. They expect their `import`s (outside
of whatever is included in the bundle) to be already available in
the `loader.js` runtime registry.
In the classic build, _every_ module gets compiled into AMD and
gets added to the `loader.js` runtime registry. In Embroider,
the goal is to do this as little as possible, to give the bundler
more flexibility to optimize modules, or omit them entirely if it
is confident that the module is unused (i.e. tree-shaking).
Even in the most compatible mode, there are cases where Embroider
is confident enough to omit modules in the runtime `loader.js`
registry (notably, "auto-imported" non-addon NPM packages). So we
have to be mindful of that an manage those dependencies ourselves,
as seen in #22703.
In the longer term, we will look into using modern features (such
as `import()`) to express these inter-dependencies.
This will only be behind a flag for a short period of time while we
perform some final testing. Within the next few weeks, we intend
to enable by default and remove the flag.

This will allow us to extend the deprecation period for this-property-fallback beyond Ember 4.x, to give more time for plugin developers to update their templates.
It's backward compatible so still supports our 3.28 ember-source.
The visible change is finally getting rid of this message:
```
WARNING: Node v18.12.0 is not tested against Ember CLI on your platform. We recommend that you use the most-recent "Active LTS" version of Node.js. See https://git.io/v7S5n for details.
```
---
`@ember/string` dependency is added for future compatibility. See: https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/pull/10125
---
`tests/helpers/index.js` is unused for now, but is a nice pattern. We could move some of our test setup into local `setupApplicationTest/setupRenderingTest/setupTest` helpers.
