We previously had a system which would generate a 10x10px preview of images and add their URLs in a data-small-upload attribute. The client would then use that as the background-image of the `<img>` element. This works reasonably well on fast connections, but on slower connections it can take a few seconds for the placeholders to appear. The act of loading the placeholders can also break or delay the loading of the 'real' images.
This commit replaces the placeholder logic with a new approach. Instead of a 10x10px preview, we use imagemagick to calculate the average color of an image and store it in the database. The hex color value then added as a `data-dominant-color` attribute on the `<img>` element, and the client can use this as a `background-color` on the element while the real image is loading. That means no extra HTTP request is required, and so the placeholder color can appear instantly.
Dominant color will be calculated:
1. When a new upload is created
2. During a post rebake, if the dominant color is missing from an upload, it will be calculated and stored
3. Every 15 minutes, 25 old upload records are fetched and their dominant color calculated and stored. (part of the existing PeriodicalUpdates job)
Existing posts will continue to use the old 10x10px placeholder system until they are next rebaked
Dead and large images are replaced with a placeholder, either a broken
chain icon or a short text. This commit no longer applies this
transformation for images inside Oneboxes, but removes them instead.
This table holds associations between uploads and other models. This can be used to prevent removing uploads that are still in use.

Previously, with the default `editing_grace_period`, hotlinked images were pulled 5 minutes after a post is created. This delay was added to reduce the chance of automated edits clashing with user edits.
This commit refactors things so that we can pull hotlinked images immediately. URLs are immediately updated in the post's `cooked` HTML. The post's raw markdown is updated later, after the `editing_grace_period`.
This involves a number of behind-the-scenes changes including:
- Schedule Jobs::PullHotlinkedImages immediately after Jobs::ProcessPost. Move scheduling to after the `update_column` call to avoid race conditions
- Move raw changes into a separate job, which is delayed until after the ninja-edit window
- Move disable_if_low_on_disk_space logic into the `pull_hotlinked_images` job
- Move raw-parsing/replacing logic into `InlineUpload` so it can be easily be shared between `UpdateHotlinkedRaw` and `PullUserProfileHotlinkedImages`
This will make future changes to the 'pull hotlinked images' system easier. This commit should not introduce any functional change.
For now, the old post_custom_field data is kept in the database. This will be dropped in a future commit.
PostAnalyzer and CookedPostProcessor both replace URLs with oneboxes.
PostAnalyzer did not use the max_oneboxes_per_post site and setting and
CookedPostProcessor replaced at most max_oneboxes_per_post URLs ignoring
the oneboxes that were replaced already by PostAnalyzer.
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.
