To achieve this this commit does the following:
- create a new `groups field, ideally we would have reused the existing group field, but many automations now have the expectation that this field will return a group id and not an array of group ids, which makes it a dangerous change
- alter the code in `post_created_edited` to use this new groups field and change the logic to use an array
- migrate the existing group fields post_created_edited automations to change name from `restricted_group` to `restricted_groups`, the component from `group` to `groups` and the metadata from `{"value": integer}` to `{"value": [integer]}`
Prior to this fix we could exit early if tags was `[]` as `tags && (tags & post.topic.tags.map(&:name)).empty?` would have returned true. This commit ensures it's not the case anymore and adds a test for it.

Create a topic can fail in many different ways and we don't want this to impact the rest of the application, the call will now be wrapped in a begin/rescue block and log an error if it fails.
* FEATURE: Change tags sent in topic_tags_changed trigger in discourse_automation
Before, it was sending the old tags and the current tags in topic.
Now, it sends the removed tags and the added tags in the topic.
* DEV: update `missing_tags` to be `removed_tags`
* DEV: add spacing for better readability
Prior to this fix the query in stalled_topic_finder would assume that tags/categories would be nil or an array of ids. However it can be an empty array, in this case the query will not return results.
The automation plugin has 4 custom field types that are array typed. However, array typed custom fields are deprecated and should be migrated to JSON type.
This commit does a couple of things:
1. Migrate all four custom fields to JSON
2. Fix a couple of small bugs that have been discovered while migrating the custom fields to JSON (see the comments on this commit's PR for details https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26939)
Some combinations of start_date and frequency/interval values can cause a recurring automation rule to either trigger before its start_date or never trigger. Example repros:
- Configure a recurring automation with hourly recurrence and a start_date several days ahead. What this will do is make the automation start running hourly immediately even though the start_date is several days ahead.
- Configure a recurring automation with a weekly recurrence and a start_date several weeks ahead. This will result in the automation never triggering even after the start_date.
These 2 scenarios share the same cause which is that the automation plugin doesn't use the start_date as the date for the first run and instead uses the frequency/interval values from the current time to calculate the first run date.
This PR fixes this bug by adding an explicit check for start_date and using it as the first run's date if it's ahead of the current time.
Prior to this fix, any change to an automation would reset `pending_automations`, now we only do it if any value related to recurrence (start_date, interval, frequency, execute_at...) has been changed.
It means that any trigger creating `pending_automations` now needs to manage them in the `on_update` callback.
This commit adds a new option to the `user_updated` trigger of the automation plugin to only trigger an automation for new users that join after the automation is enabled.

This commit adds a new automation script for creating topics. It's very similar to the existing 'create a post' automation, except that it posts new topics in a specific category and with optional tags.
