When the server gets overloaded and lots of requests start queuing server
will attempt to shed load by returning 429 errors on background requests.
The client can flag a request as background by setting the header:
`Discourse-Background` to `true`
Out-of-the-box we shed load when the queue time goes above 0.5 seconds.
The only request we shed at the moment is the request to load up a new post
when someone posts to a topic.
We can extend this as we go with a more general pattern on the client.
Previous to this change, rate limiting would "break" the post stream which
would make suggested topics vanish and users would have to scroll the page
to see more posts in the topic.
Server needs this protection for cases where tons of clients are navigated
to a topic and a new post is made. This can lead to a self inflicted denial
of service if enough clients are viewing the topic.
Due to the internal security design of Discourse it is hard for a large
number of clients to share a channel where we would pass the full post body
via the message bus.
It also renames (and deprecates) triggerNewPostInStream to triggerNewPostsInStream
This allows us to load a batch of new posts cleanly, so the controller can
keep track of a backlog

I also took the opportunity with this commit to move some test specific
stuff out of `discourse-loader` which is loaded on the front end of the
application. The test module building now happens in the `test_helper`
bundle.
This is long overdue. We had a lot of (not linted) code to initialize
our test suite as part of the Ruby `test_helper.js` bundle.
This refactor moves that out to a `setup-tests` module, which imports
all the modules properly, rather than using `require`.
It also removes the global `server` variable which some tests were using
for pretender. Those tests are fixed, and in the case of widget tests,
support for a `pretend()` was added, which mimics our acceptance tests.
One problematic test was removed, which overwrites `/posts` - this could
break tons of other tests depending on order.
The prefixing logic is moved into a `prefixProtocol` function in lib:url.
This commit also renames an incorrectly named test and uses https as default instead of http, in 2020 it's reasonable to think we most likely want https and not http. User can still specify http if required.
These are tricky because `module.exports` is used by nodejs files as a
global, which is OK. But we don't want to allow `module` in JS tests
for qunit without importing it first.
We used many global functions to handle tests when they should be
imported like other libraries in our application. This also gets us
closer to the way Ember CLI prefers our tests to be laid out.
This is where they should be as far as ember is concerned. Note this is
a huge commit and we should be really careful everything continues to
work properly.
