[MODERATION] Refactor integration testing (squash)
- Motivation for this PR is that I'd noticed that a lot of repeated
calls are happening between the test functions and that certain tests
weren't using helper functions like `GetCSRF`, therefor this refactor of
the integration tests to keep it: clean, small and hopefully more
maintainable and understandable.
- There are now three integration tests: `TestBlockUser`,
`TestBlockUserFromOrganization` and `TestBlockActions` (and has been
moved in that order in the source code).
- `TestBlockUser` is for doing blocking related actions as an user and
`TestBlockUserFromOrganization` as an organisation, even though they
execute the same kind of tests they do not share any database calls or
logic and therefor it currently doesn't make sense to merge them
together (hopefully such oppurtinutiy might be presented in the future).
- `TestBlockActions` now contain all tests for actions that should be
blocked after blocking has happened, most tests now share the same doer
and blocked users and a extra fixture has been added to make this
possible for the comment test.
- Less code, more comments and more re-use between tests.

Backport #27000 by @wxiaoguang
This PR reduces the complexity of the system setting system.
It only needs one line to introduce a new option, and the option can be
used anywhere out-of-box.
It is still high-performant (and more performant) because the config
values are cached in the config system.

Part of #27065
This reduces the usage of `db.DefaultContext`. I think I've got enough
files for the first PR. When this is merged, I will continue working on
this.
Considering how many files this PR affect, I hope it won't take to long
to merge, so I don't end up in the merge conflict hell.

Unfortunately, when a system setting hasn't been stored in the database,
it cannot be cached.
Meanwhile, this PR also uses context cache for push email avatar display
which should avoid to read user table via email address again and again.
According to my local test, this should reduce dashboard elapsed time
from 150ms -> 80ms .
The API should only return the real Mail of a User, if the caller is
logged in. The check do to this don't work. This PR fixes this. This not
really a security issue, but can lead to Spam.

Provided a webhook trigger for requesting someone to review the Pull
Request.
Some modifications have been made to the returned `PullRequestPayload`
based on the GitHub webhook settings, including:
- add a description of the current reviewer object as
`RequestedReviewer` .
- setting the action to either **review_requested** or
**review_request_removed** based on the operation.
- adding the `RequestedReviewers` field to the issues_model.PullRequest.
This field will be loaded into the PullRequest through
`LoadRequestedReviewers()` when `ToAPIPullRequest` is called.
After the Pull Request is merged, I will supplement the relevant
documentation.
## ⚠️ Breaking
The `log.<mode>.<logger>` style config has been dropped. If you used it,
please check the new config manual & app.example.ini to make your
instance output logs as expected.
Although many legacy options still work, it's encouraged to upgrade to
the new options.
The SMTP logger is deleted because SMTP is not suitable to collect logs.
If you have manually configured Gitea log options, please confirm the
logger system works as expected after upgrading.
## Description
Close#12082 and maybe more log-related issues, resolve some related
FIXMEs in old code (which seems unfixable before)
Just like rewriting queue #24505 : make code maintainable, clear legacy
bugs, and add the ability to support more writers (eg: JSON, structured
log)
There is a new document (with examples): `logging-config.en-us.md`
This PR is safer than the queue rewriting, because it's just for
logging, it won't break other logic.
## The old problems
The logging system is quite old and difficult to maintain:
* Unclear concepts: Logger, NamedLogger, MultiChannelledLogger,
SubLogger, EventLogger, WriterLogger etc
* Some code is diffuclt to konw whether it is right:
`log.DelNamedLogger("console")` vs `log.DelNamedLogger(log.DEFAULT)` vs
`log.DelLogger("console")`
* The old system heavily depends on ini config system, it's difficult to
create new logger for different purpose, and it's very fragile.
* The "color" trick is difficult to use and read, many colors are
unnecessary, and in the future structured log could help
* It's difficult to add other log formats, eg: JSON format
* The log outputer doesn't have full control of its goroutine, it's
difficult to make outputer have advanced behaviors
* The logs could be lost in some cases: eg: no Fatal error when using
CLI.
* Config options are passed by JSON, which is quite fragile.
* INI package makes the KEY in `[log]` section visible in `[log.sub1]`
and `[log.sub1.subA]`, this behavior is quite fragile and would cause
more unclear problems, and there is no strong requirement to support
`log.<mode>.<logger>` syntax.
## The new design
See `logger.go` for documents.

- [x] Move renaming organizaiton and user logics into services layer and
merged as one function
- [x] Support rename a user capitalization only. For example, rename the
user from `Lunny` to `lunny`. We just need to change one table `user`
and others should not be touched.

This allows for usernames, and emails connected to them to be reserved
and not reused.
Use case, I manage an instance with open registration, and sometimes
when users are deleted for spam (or other purposes), their usernames are
freed up and they sign up again with the same information.
This could also be used to reserve usernames, and block them from being
registered (in case an instance would like to block certain things
without hardcoding the list in code and compiling from scratch).
This is an MVP, that will allow for future work where you can set
something as reserved via the interface.

Note: this is not in a mergeable state. It would be better if this was

Fixes https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/22676
Context Data `IsOrganizationMember` and `IsOrganizationOwner` is used to
control the visibility of `people` and `team` tab.
2871ea0809/templates/org/menu.tmpl (L19-L40)
And because of the reuse of user projects page, User Context is changed
to Organization Context. But the value of `IsOrganizationMember` and
`IsOrganizationOwner` are not being given.
I reused func `HandleOrgAssignment` to add them to the ctx, but may have
some unnecessary variables, idk whether it is ok.
I found there is a missing `PageIsViewProjects` at create project page.
Partially fix#23050
After #22294 merged, it always has a warning log like `cannot get
context cache` when starting up. This should not affect any real life
but it's annoying. This PR will fix the problem. That means when
starting up, getting the system settings will not try from the cache but
will read from the database directly.

In addition it takes the opportunity to adjust the settings for `pbkdf2`

The majority of this work was inspired by PR #14751 and I would like to
thank @boppy for their work on this.
Thanks to @gusted for the suggestion to adjust the `pbkdf2` hashing
parameters.

Allow back-dating user creation via the `adminCreateUser` API operation.
`CreateUserOption` now has an optional field `created_at`, which can
contain a datetime-formatted string. If this field is present, the
user's `created_unix` database field will be updated to its value.
This is important for Blender's migration of users from Phabricator to
Gitea. There are many users, and the creation timestamp of their account
can give us some indication as to how long someone's been part of the
community.
The back-dating is done in a separate query that just updates the user's
`created_unix` field. This was the easiest and cleanest way I could
find, as in the initial `INSERT` query the field always is set to "now".
To avoid duplicated load of the same data in an HTTP request, we can set
a context cache to do that. i.e. Some pages may load a user from a
database with the same id in different areas on the same page. But the
code is hidden in two different deep logic. How should we share the
user? As a result of this PR, now if both entry functions accept
`context.Context` as the first parameter and we just need to refactor
`GetUserByID` to reuse the user from the context cache. Then it will not
be loaded twice on an HTTP request.
But of course, sometimes we would like to reload an object from the
database, that's why `RemoveContextData` is also exposed.
The core context cache is here. It defines a new context
```go
type cacheContext struct {
ctx context.Context
data map[any]map[any]any
lock sync.RWMutex
}
var cacheContextKey = struct{}{}
func WithCacheContext(ctx context.Context) context.Context {
return context.WithValue(ctx, cacheContextKey, &cacheContext{
ctx: ctx,
data: make(map[any]map[any]any),
})
}
```
Then you can use the below 4 methods to read/write/del the data within
the same context.
```go
func GetContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key any) any
func SetContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key, value any)
func RemoveContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key any)
func GetWithContextCache[T any](ctx context.Context, cacheGroupKey string, cacheTargetID any, f func() (T, error)) (T, error)
```
Then let's take a look at how `system.GetString` implement it.
```go
func GetSetting(ctx context.Context, key string) (string, error) {
return cache.GetWithContextCache(ctx, contextCacheKey, key, func() (string, error) {
return cache.GetString(genSettingCacheKey(key), func() (string, error) {
res, err := GetSettingNoCache(ctx, key)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return res.SettingValue, nil
})
})
}
```
First, it will check if context data include the setting object with the
key. If not, it will query from the global cache which may be memory or
a Redis cache. If not, it will get the object from the database. In the
end, if the object gets from the global cache or database, it will be
set into the context cache.
An object stored in the context cache will only be destroyed after the
context disappeared.
