Summary: Ref T5651. Only throw a HTTP 400 if the data is invalid (i.e. the request is bad). If something bad happens when trying to transmit the notification, throw a HTTP 500 instead.

41a8837f78 Make HTTP errors returned from the Aphlict server more specific
Summary: Ref T5651. Currently, the Aphlict server returns either `200 OKAY` or `400 Bad Request`. We could return more specific errors in some cases and this may assist with debugging.

Test Plan:
Sent myself a test notification at `/notification/status/` and saw the Aphlict server process the request (running in debug mode). Also poked around with `curl`:

```
> curl http://localhost:22281/
405 Method Not Allowed

> curl http://localhost:22281/ -d ""
400 Bad Request

> curl http://localhost:22281/foobar/
404 Not Found
```

6bf4ec97d5 Fix HTTP 400 from notification server for JSON subscription objects
Summary: Fixes T5651. Sometime we'll send an object to the notification server for `subscribers`, which it will choke on. Use `array_values()` to make sure we're sending an array.

Test Plan: With `(object)` instead, got a consistent error ("no .filter method on object"). With `array_values()`, no error.

84d259cea2 Modify the Aphlict server to transmit messages instead of broadcasting them.
Summary: Ref T4324. Ref T5284. This adds server-side support for keeping track of a set of PHIDs that the Aphlict clients have subscribed to. Instead of broadcasting a notification to all clients (after which the clients can poll `/notification/individual` in order to determine whether or not they are interested in the notification), transmit notifications only to clients that have subscribed to a PHID that is relevant to the notification.

Test Plan:
I opened up two clients on the same host (incognito tabs in Chrome). Here is the output from the server:

```
> sudo ./bin/aphlict debug
Starting Aphlict server in foreground...

I verified (using the "Network" tab in Chrome) that an AJAX request to `/notification/individual/` was only made in the tab belonging to the user that triggered the test notification.

ab4324148a Make the Aphlict server more resilient.
Summary:
Currently, the Aphlict server will crash if invalid JSON data is `POST`ed to it. I have fixed this to, instead, return a 400. Also made some minor formatting changes.

Ref T4324. Ref T5284. Also, modify the data structure that is passed around (i.e. `POST`ed to the Aphlict server and broadcast to the Aphlict clients) to include the subscribers. Initially, I figured that we shouldn't expose this information to the clients... however, it is necessary for T4324 that the `AphlictMaster` is able to route a notification to the appropriate clients.

Test Plan:
Making the following `curl` request: `curl --data "{" http://localhost:22281/`.

**Before**
```
sudo ./bin/aphlict debug

fe98aa6839 Publish additional context to the Aphlict server.
Summary:
Ref T4324. As well as sending the key for the notification, also publish the notification type and a list of subscribers to the Aphlict server.

The idea here is that the Aphlict server passes anything within the `data` key to the clients, whereas other keys (such as `subscribers`) will be used by the server to determine where the notifications should be routed.

Note that these changes don't do anything useful, but are a prerequisite for further work on T4324.

Test Plan:
Sent myself test notifications at `/notification/status/`. Also inspected the Aphlict server debug output:

```

3202f0f23d Post data to the Aphlict server in JSON encoded form.
Summary:
Ref T4324. Currently, notifications data is `POST`ed to the Aphlict server in the `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format. This works fine for simple data but is problematic for nested data. For example:

```lang=php
array(
  'data' => array(
    'key'  => '6021329908492455737',
    'type' => 'PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory',
  ),
  'subscribers' => array(
    'PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge',
  ),
);
```

Is encoded as `data%5Bkey%5D=6021329908492455737&data%5Btype%5D=PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory&subscribers%5B0%5D=PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge`. This string is then (incorrectly) decoded by `querystring.parse` as:

```lang=javascript
> querystring.parse('data%5Bkey%5D=6021329908492455737&data%5Btype%5D=PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory&subscribers%5B0%5D=PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge');
{ 'data[key]': '6021329908492455737',
  'data[type]': 'PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory',
  'subscribers[0]': 'PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge' }
```

Test Plan: Sent test notifications from `/notification/status/` and verified that the notifications still worked.

260eb5344b Allow Aphlict to load Javelin and use Javelin class definitions
Summary:
Ref T4324. The server code is probably going to get a fair amount more complicated, so allow it to load Javelin classes in a mostly-reasonable way.

This integration has a few warts, but should be good enough to let us manage complexity through the next iteration of the server.

(Mostly I just want the concicse Javelin mechanism for defining new classes.)

Version bump is just so I can figure stuff out if this creates any issues for users based on which version of things they're running.

ef85f49adc Delete license headers from files
Summary:
This commit doesn't change license of any file. It just makes the license implicit (inherited from LICENSE file in the root directory).

We are removing the headers for these reasons:

- It wastes space in editors, less code is visible in editor upon opening a file.
- It brings noise to diff of the first change of any file every year.
- It confuses Git file copy detection when creating small files.
- We don't have an explicit license header in other files (JS, CSS, images, documentation).
- Using license header in every file is not obligatory: http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new.

This change is approved by Alma Chao (Lead Open Source and IP Counsel at Facebook).

Test Plan: Verified that the license survived only in LICENSE file and that it didn't modify externals.

  - Allow subscription and publish/admin ports to be configured.
  - Allow server to drop root after binding to 843.
  - Allow log path to be configured.
  - Add /status/ admin URI which shows server status.
  - Return HTTP 400 Bad Request for other requests, instead of hanging.
  - Minor formatting cleanup.

Test Plan:
Ran without root:

  $ node aphlict_server.js

...got a good error message. Ran with --user:

  $ sudo node aphlict_server.js --user=epriestley

...verified server dropped permissions. Ran with --port / --admin. Hit /status/ with GET, got status. Hit other URLs with GET, got 400.

f8f195b329 Make Notifications Realtime
Summary:
Adds the node.js Aphlict server, the flash Aphlict client, and some
supporting javascript. Built on top of - and requires - D2703 (which is still
in progress).  Will likely work with no modification on top of the final
version, though.

The node server is currently run with

   sudo node support/aphlict/server/aphlict_server.js

Test Plan: tested locally

f8431bbfee Make Aphlict client somewhat more approachable
Summary: Provide a reasonable JS API for the Aphlict client. Provide an example behavior to invoke it.

Test Plan:
Ran "aphlict_server.js" with:

  $ 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).

84731e8f00 Aphlict, simple notification 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.
