### Background
Several call sites use `FileStore#download` (through `Discourse.store.download`). In some cases the author seems aware that the method can raise an error if the download fails, and in some cases not. Because of this we're seeing some of these exceptions bubble all the way up and getting logged in production. Although they are not really actionable at that point. Rather each call site needs to be considered to figure out how to handle them.
### What is this change?
This change accomplishes primarily two things.
Firstly it separates the method into a safe version which will handle errors by returning `nil`, and an unsafe version which will re-package upstream errors in a new `FileStore::DownloadError` class.
Secondly it updates the call sites which have been doing error handling downstream to use the new safe version.
For backwards compatibility, there's an interim situation and a desired end state.
**Interim:**
```
FileStore#download → Old unsafe version. Will raise any error and show a deprecation warning.
FileStore#download! → New unsafe version. Will raise FileStore::DownloadError.
FileStore#download_safe → New safe version. Will return nil.
```
**Desired end-state:**
```
FileStore#download → New safe version. Will return nil.
FileStore#download! → New unsafe version. Will raise FileStore::DownloadError.
```
### What's next?
We need to do a quick audit of the call sites that are using the old unsafe version without any error handling, as well as check for call sites in plugins other repos. Follow-up PRs incoming.
In this PR, we're making sure when a theme upload which is used in the theme's CSS is missing it won't break the stylesheet precompilation process. See also: 6ebd2cecda
Previously the stylesheet cachebusting hash was based on the maximum mtime of files. This works well in development and during in-container updates (e.g. via docker_manager). However, when a fresh docker image is created for each deploy, the file mtimes will change even if the contents has not.
This commit changes the production logic to calculate the cachebuster from the filenames and contents of the relevant assets. This should be consistent across deploys, thereby improving cache hits and improving page load times.
Previously, when the array had both nil and string values it returned the error "comparison of NilClass with String failed". Now I added the `.compact` method to prevent this issue as per @martin-brennan's suggestion https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18431#discussion_r984204788
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Preload resources via link header (#18475)" (#18511)"
This reverts commit 95a57f7e0c.
* put behind feature flag
* env -> global setting
* declare global setting
* forgot one spot
Experiment moving from preload tags in the document head to preload information the the response headers.
While this is a minor improvement in most browsers (headers are parsed before the response body), this allows smart proxies like Cloudflare to "learn" from those headers and build HTTP 103 Early Hints for subsequent requests to the same URI, which will allow the user agent to download and parse our JS/CSS while we are waiting for the server to generate and stream the HTML response.

This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like

Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
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.
