Summary: Fixes T10806. Although browsers don't seem to care about this, it's more correct to support it, and the new test console uses normal `cURL` and does care.
Test Plan:
- Hit the error case for providing a chain but no key/cert.
- Used `openssl s_client -connect localhost:22280` to connect to local Aphlict servers.
- With SSL but no chain, saw `openssl` fail to verify the remote.
- With SSL and a chain, saw `openssl` verify the identify of the remote.

Fixes T10697. This finishes bringing the rest of the config up to cluster power levels.
Phabricator is now given an arbitrarily long list of notification servers.
Each Aphlict server is given an arbitrarily long list of ports to run services on.
Users are free to make them meet in the middle by proxying whatever they want to whatever else they want.
This should also accommodate clustering fairly easily in the future.
Also rewrote the status UI and changed a million other things. 🐗

Summary:
Ref T10697. Currently, `aphlict` takes a ton of command line flags to configure exactly one admin server and exactly one client server.
I want to replace this with a config file. Additionally, I plan to support:
- arbitrary numbers of listening client ports;
- arbitrary numbers of listening admin ports;
- SSL on any port.
For now, just transform the arguments to look like they're a config file. In the future, I'll load from a config file instead.
This greater generality will allow you to do stuff like run separate HTTP and HTTPS admin ports if you really want. I don't think there's a ton of use for this, but it tends to make the code cleaner anyway and there may be some weird cross-datacneter cases for it. Certainly, we undershot with the initial design and lots of users want to terminate SSL in nginx and run only HTTP on this server.
(Some sort-of-plausible use cases are running separate HTTP and HTTPS client servers, if your Phabricator install supports both, or running multiple HTTPS servers with different certificates if you have a bizarre VPN.)
Test Plan: Started Aphlict, connected to it, sent myself test notifications, viewed status page, reviewed logfile.

Summary:
In particular, this changes the behavior of NodeJS in the following ways:
- Any attempt to get or modify the global object will result in an error.
- `null` values of `this` will no longer be evaluated to the global object and primitive values of this will not be converted to wrapper objects.
- Writing or deleting properties which have there writeable or configurable attributes set to false will now throw an error instead of failing silently.
- Adding a property to an object whose extensible attribute is false will also throw an error now.
- A functions arguments are not writeable so attempting to change them will now throw an error `arguments = [...]`.
- `with(){}` statements are gone.
- Use of `eval` is effectively banned.
- `eval` and `arguments` are not allowed as variable or function identifiers in any scope.
- The identifiers `implements`, `interface`, `let`, `package`, `private`, `protected`, `public`, `static` and `yield` are all now reserved for future use (roll on ES6).

Summary:
This was broken in D11383. Basically, I had the `ws` module installed globally whilst testing, but the changes made do not work if the `ws` module is installed locally (i.e. in the `./support/aphlict/server/node_modules` directory). After poking around, it seems that this is due to the sandboxing that is done by `JX.require`.
A quick fix is to just //not// use `JX.require`, although you may have a better idea?
The error that is occurring is as follows:
```

$ sudo node aphlict_server.js
Loaded /aphlict/. Opened console. Got "hello" from the server every second.
Got reasonable errors with the server not present ("Security exception", but this is because it can't connect to port 843 to access the policy server).

Summary:
This is purely a prototype at the moment, but the basic functionality sort of
works.
I'm not sure how far I want to go with this but I think we might be able to get
somewhere without it being gross.
The idea here is to build a notification server WITHOUT using Comet, since Comet
is extremely difficult and complicated.
Instead, I use Flash on the client. LocalConnection allows flash instances to
talk to each other and connect() can be used as a locking primitive. This allows
all the instances to elect a master instance in a race-safe way. The master is
responsible for opening a single connnection to the server.
On the server, I use Node.js since PHP is pretty unsuitable for this task.
See Github Issue #3: https://github.com/facebook/phabricator/issues/3
One thing I need to figure out next is if I can reasonably do SSL/TSL over Flash
(it looks like I can, in theory, with the as3crypto library) or if the server
needs to just send down version information and trigger a separate Ajax call on
the client.
Test Plan:
Created a client pool and connected it to the server, with election and failover
apparently working correctly.
