This is a fairly extensive update to add checklists and to reorganize the presented information so it is more accessible. Some info is relegated to links to docs on meta. For convenience and regular reference, this topic is now linked to from a GETTING STARTED button next to the site title as long as the site is in bootstrap mode.
What does this change do?
This commit removes the experimental label for a bunch of APIs that have
been used in production for quite some time at Discourse so that the
APIs can be released as part of Discourse 3.1
This might soon become a first class feature in Discourse core in the
short term so marking it as experimental for now to bridge
certain Discourse own-ed plugins and themes.
New client side plugin API that allows plugins or themes to customize
the fontawesome 5 icon used to indicate that a category is locked/read
restricted.
Instructions in section 10 about optionally enabling free HTTPS / SSL point to the Let's Encrypt guide. The Let's Encrypt guide indicates that following this standard installation guide automatically enables Let's Encrypt. I'm proposing a slight change to make it more clear that Let's Encrypt is automatically installed, unless the user skipped that configuration.
This will be used by plugins to handle the client side of their custom
post validations without having to overwrite the whole composer save
action as it was done in other plugins.

This commit allows quoting of discourse-local-date elements
and converts the quoted tags back into bbcode so that the
rendered quote will also render the discourse-local-date HTML.
This works on single dates as well as date ranges, and supports
all of the options used by discourse-local-date.
This also necessitated adding addTextDecorateCallback to the
to-markdown core lib (similar to addBlockDecorateCallback and
addTagDecorateCallback) to transform the text nodes between
date ranges to remove the -> in the final quote.

The files in the containers directory may include secrets -- such as
credentials for sending email. Previously, those could be world-
readable depending on umask.
This is a big change to change over to using the uppy
upload mixin in the composer by default. This gets rid
of the temporary composer-editor-uppy component, as well
as removing the old ComposerUpload mixin and copying over
any missing functions that were not yet implemented by
ComposerUploadUppy. This has been working well on our
hosting for some time now and has led us to several
bug fixes.
This commit also deletes the old plugin API for adding
preprocessors for the uploads. The accepted method of doing
this now is via an uppy preprocessor plugin, which we have
several examples of in the core codebase.
Leaving the `enable_experimental_composer_uploader` site setting
intact for now because some plugins still rely on it, this
will be removed at a later date.
One step closer to ending the jQuery file uploader saga...

Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change

- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
`fondu` is no longer available via homebrew: `Error: fondu has been
disabled because it is not maintained upstream!` (since
Homebrew/homebrew-core#66396) and the `pkg` file available on `fondu`'s
site doesn't seem to work on Big Sur. An alternative option is to use
`fontforge`, which a little `python` script (it's definitely less short
an harder to read, but it works). Additionally, it looks like the file
*might* be called `ttc` instead.
I have also updated the URL for ImageMagick's `type_gen` because it now
lives under `legacy.imagemagick.org` which causes `curl` to capture a
301 page instead.
Dependency on gifsicle, allow_animated_avatars and allow_animated_thumbnails
site settings were all removed. Animated GIF images are still allowed, but
the generated optimized images are no longer animated for those (which were
used for avatars and thumbnails).
The added 'animated' is populated by extracting information using FastImage.
This field was used to selectively reoptimize old animations. This process
happens in the background.
