Considering document length in search introduced too much variance in
our search results such that it makes certain searches better but at the
same time made certain searches worst. Instead, we want to have a more
determistic way of ranking search so that it is easier to reason about
why a post is rank higher in search than another.
The long term plan to tackle repeated terms is to restrict the number of
positions for a given lexeme in our search index.

Note that his change increases query time by around 40% in the following
benchmark against `dev.discourse.org` but this is a tradeoff that has to be taken so that relevance
search is accurate.

On large topics, the cost of sending the entire post ID list back over to the database is signficant. Just have the DB recalculate the list of visible posts instead.
It's a little awkward to test constants by re-assigning them so
I've added a new parameter to `Discourse.find_compatible_resource`
which can be used by tests.
Instead of loading all of the user bookmarks using all the post IDs in a topic, load all the bookmarks for a user using the topic ID. This eliminates a costly WHERE ID IN query.
Adds a new rake task `plugin:checkout_compatible_all` and
`plugin:checkout_compatible[plugin-name]` that check out compatible plugin
versions.
Supports a .discourse-compatibility file in the root of plugins and themes that
list out a plugin's compatibility with certain discourse versions:
eg: .discourse-compatibility
```
2.5.0.beta6: some-git-hash
2.4.4.beta4: some-git-tag
2.2.0: git-reference
```
This ensures older Discourse installs are able to find and install older
versions of plugins without intervention, through the manifest only.
It iterates through the versions in descending order. If the current Discourse
version matches an item in the manifest, it checks out the listed plugin target.
If the Discourse version is greater than an item in the manifest, it checks out
the next highest version listed in the manifest.
If no versions match, it makes no change.
This is a very expensive process, and it should only be required in exceptional circumstances. It is possible to run a similar recovery using `rake uploads:recover` (5284d41a8e/lib/upload_recovery.rb (L135-L184))
Previously, while generating the topic page's canoncial url we used the current post number. It will create invalid canonical path if the topic has whsiper posts. Now we only taking the visible posts for current page index calculation.
* FIX: Correct version comparison logic when comparing stable to beta
For example, version 1.3.0 should be considered higher than 1.3.0.beta3. So `Discourse.has_needed_version?('1.3.0', '1.3.0.beta3')` should return true
* Switch to use Gem::Version to compare versions
When rebaking a post we were invalidating _regular_ oneboxes but not inline oneboxes.
DEV: also renamed 'InlineOneboxer.purge' to 'InlineOneboxer.invalidate' to keep
the API consistent with 'Oneboxer.invalidate'
When linking to a topic in the same Discourse, we try to onebox the link to show the title
and other various information depending on whether it's a "standard" or "inline" onebox.
However, we were not properly detecting links to topics that had no slugs (eg. https://meta.discourse.org/t/1234).
FIX: prevent re-flagging when we have reviewed flags before
Fixes an edge case where a review can be reflagged when:
User flags as inappropriate.
Moderator rejects the flag.
Another user re-flags the post as spam.
Before, anyone was able to re-flag as inappropriate despite it being flagged
previously. With this, users are unable to re-flag for the same reason
regardless of reviewable status.
