Fixes T9874.
- Stop using the phrase "restart your webserver". Instead, say "restart Phabricator".
- Write a document explaining that "Restart Phabricator" means to restart all of the server processes, depending on how your configuration is set up, and approximately how to do that.
- Link to this document.
- In places where we are not specifically giving instructions and the user isn't expected to do anything, be intentionally vague so as to avoid being misleading.
Test Plan:
- Read document.
- Hit "exetnsion" and "PHP config" setup checks, got "restart Phabricator" with documentation links in both cases.

Summary:
Basically similar to D13941 but a little more extreme:
- Really strongly emphasize reproducibility for bug reports, and set users up for rejection if they don't satisfy this.
- Really strongly emphasize problem descriptions for feature requests, and set users up for rejection.
- Get rid of various "please give us feedback"; we get plenty of feedback these days.
- Some modernization tweaks.
- Split the support document into:
- Stuff we actually support for free (security / good bug reports / feature requests).
- Stuff you can pay us for (hosting / consulting / prioritization).
- A nebulous "community" section, with appropriate (low) expectations that better reflects reality.
My overall goals here are:
- Set expectations better, so users don't show up in IRC expecting it to be a "great place to get amazing support" or whatever the docs said in 2011.
- Possibly move the needle slightly on bug reports / feature request quality, maybe.
Test Plan: Read changes carefully.

- Puts it all in one place that's locked and which you use `bin/garbage set-policy ...` to adjust.
- Makes every TTL-based GC configurable.
- Simplifies the code in the actual GCs.
Test Plan:
- Ran `bin/garbage collect` to collect some garbage, until it stopped collecting.
- Ran `bin/garbage set-policy ...` to shorten policy. Saw change in web UI. Ran `bin/garbage collect` again and saw it collect more garbage.
- Set policy to indefinite and saw it not collect garabge.
- Set policy to default and saw it reflected in web UI / `collect`.
- Ran `bin/phd debug trigger` and saw all GCs fire with reasonable looking queries.
- Read new docs.

Ref T9253. See discussion in D13843.
I want to let Drydock blueprints for Almanac services choose those services from a typeahead, but only list appropriate services in the typeahead. To do this:
- Provide a StandardCustomField for an arbitrary datasource.
- Adjust the AlmanacServiceDatasource to allow filtering by service class.
This implementation is substantially the same as the one in D13843, with some adjustments:
- I lifted most of the code in the `Users` standard custom field into a new `Tokenizer` standard custom field.
- The `Users` and `Datasource` custom fields now extend the `Tokenizer` custom field and can share most of the code it uses.
- I exposed this field fully as a configurable field. I don't think anyone will ever use it, but this generality costs us nearly nothing and improves consistency.
- The code in D13843 didn't actually pass the parameters over the wire, since the object that responds to the request is not the same object that renders the field. Use the "parameters" mechanism in datasources to get things passed over the wire.
Test Plan:
- Created a custom "users" field in Maniphest and made sure it still wokred.
- Created a custom "almanc services" field in Maniphest and selected some services for a task.
- With additional changes from D13843, selected an appropriate Almanac service in a new Drydock blueprint.

Summary:
Ref T8377. This adds a standard disable/enable feature to Spaces, with a couple of twists:
- You can't create new stuff in an archived space, and you can't move stuff into an archived space.
- We don't show results from an archived space by default in ApplicationSearch queries. You can still find these objects if you explicitly search for "Spaces: <the archived space>".
So this is a "put it in a box in the attic" sort of operation, but that seems fairly nice/reasonable.
Test Plan:
- Archived and activated spaces.
- Used ApplicationSearch, which omitted archived objects by default but allowed searches for them, specifically, to succeed.
- Tried to create objects into an archived space (this is not allowed).
- Edited objects in an archived space (this is OK).
