Fixes T6630. Long ago, "Audit", "Diffusion" and "Repositories" were three totally separate applications.
This separation isn't useful and the three rapidly became intertwined. Ideally, they would all be one application.
This doesn't take us quite that far, but Audit no longer has any controllers and has little actual behavior.
The "Audit" screen has always just been a SearchEngine view of commits with some filters on it, and this formalizes that and puts a link to it in Diffusion. (This view has other uses, too.)
Test Plan:
- Accessed audit from home page.
- Accessed audit/commits from Diffusion.
- Could no longer uninstall Audit on its own.

Summary:
Fixes T12087. When transitioning into a clustered configuration for the first time, the documentation recommends using a one-device cluster as a transitional step.
However, installs may not do this for whatever reason, and we aren't as clear as we could be in warning about clusterizing directly into a multi-device cluster.
Roughly, when you do this, we end up believing that working copies exist on several different devices, but have no information about which copy or copies are up to date. //Usually// they all were already synchronized and are all up to date, but we can't make this assumption safely without risking data.
Instead, we err on the side of caution, and require a human to tell us which copy we should consider to be up-to-date, using `bin/repository thaw --promote`.
Test Plan:
```
$ ./bin/repository clusterize rLOCKS --service repos001.phacility.net
Service "repos001.phacility.net" is actively bound to more than one device
(local002.local, local001.phacility.net).
If you clusterize a repository onto this service it will be unclear which
devices have up-to-date copies of the repository. This leader/follower
ambiguity will freeze the repository. You may need to manually promote a
device to unfreeze it. See "Ambiguous Leaders" in the documentation for
discussion.
Continue anyway? [y/N]

Fixes T12040. In T12039, a user running local patches followed the report instructions as far as grabbing version information, but didn't update or revert their local changes or try against a clean install before reporting.
This obviously isn't ideal for us, but it's understandable (grabbing version information is much easier than upgrading/reverting), and we can do better about making this information useful: when compiling version information, try to figure out the branchpoint from a known upstream `master` branch by listing remotes, then running `git merge-base` against them.
Additionally, explicitly document that we want upstream hashes. We have to have a fallback case in this document anyway (for when you can't get to Config) so hopefully this makes it more likely that we get useful information in initial reports.

Summary:
Ref T11044. One popular tool in a modern operations environment is Puppet. The primary purpose of this tool is to randomly revert hosts to older or different configurations.
Introducing an element of chaotic unpredictability into operations trains staff to be on high alert at all times, rather than lulled into complacency by predictability or consistency.
When Puppet reverts a Phabricator host's configuration to an older version, we might start writing data to a lot of crazy places where it shouldn't go. This will create a big sticky mess that is virtually impossible to undo, mostly because we'll get two files with ID 123 or two tasks with ID 456 or whatever else and good luck with that.
Instead, after changing the partition layout, require `bin/storage partition` to be run. This writes a copy of the config everywhere.
Then, when we start serving web requests, make sure every database has the exact same config. This will foil Puppet by refusing to run requests on hosts it has reverted.
Test Plan:
- Changed partition configuration.
- Ran Phabricator.
- FOILED!
- Ran `bin/storage partition` to sync config.
- Things worked again.

Ref T11044. I'm going to hold this until after the release cut, but I think it's good to go.
This allows installs to configure multiple masters in `cluster.databases` and partition applications across them (for example, put Maniphest on a dedicated database).
When we make a Maniphest connection we go look up which master we should be hitting first, then connect to it.
This has at least approximately been planned for many years, so the actual change is largely just making sure that your config makes sense.
Test Plan:
- Configured `db001.epriestley.com` and `db002.epriestley.com` as master/master.
- Partitioned applications between them.
- Interacted with various applications, saw writes go to the correct host.

See D16734.
- Add ".ico" files to the Celerity map.
- Add a formal route for "/favicon.ico".
- Remove instructions to configure `/rsrc/` and `/favicon.ico` rewrite rules.
Long ago, we served resources directly via `/rsrc/` in at least some cases. As we added more features, this stopped working more and more often (for example, Apache can never serve CSS this way, because it doesn't know how to post-process `{$variables}`).
In modern code (until this change), only `/favicon.ico` is still expected to be served this way.
Instead, serve it with an explicit route via controller (this allows different Sites to have different favicons, for example).
Remove the instructions suggesting the old rewrite rules be configured. It's OK if they're still in place -- they won't break anything, so we don't need to rush to get users to delete them.
We should keep "webroot/favicon.ico" in place for now, since it needs to be there for users with the old rewrite rule.
Test Plan:
- Ran celerity map.
- Loaded `/favicon.ico`, got resource via route.
- Used `celerity_generate_resource_uri()` to get paths to other icons, loaded them, got icons.

Ref T11140. This makes encryption actually work:
- Provide a new configuation option, `keyring`, for specifying encryption keys.
- One key may be marked as `default`. This activates AES256 encryption for Files.
- Add `bin/files generate-key`. This is helps when generating valid encryption keys.
- Add `bin/files encode`. This changes the storage encoding of a file, and helps test encodings and migrate existing data.
- Add `bin/files cycle`. This re-encodes the block key with a new master key, if your master key leaks or you're just paraonid.
- Document all these options and behaviors.
Test Plan:
- Configured a bad `keyring`, hit a bunch of different errors.
- Used `bin/files generate-key` to try to generate bad keys, got appropriate errors ("raw doesn't support keys", etc).
- Used `bin/files generate-key` to generate an AES256 key.
- Put the new AES256 key into the `keyring`, without `default`.
- Uploaded a new file, verified it still uploaded as raw data (no `default` key yet).
- Used `bin/files encode` to change a file to ROT13 and back to raw. Verified old data got deleted and new data got stored properly.
- Used `bin/files encode --key ...` to explicitly convert a file to AES256 with my non-default key.
- Forced a re-encode of an AES256 file, verified the old data was deleted and a new key and IV were generated.
- Used `bin/files cycle` to try to cycle raw/rot13 files, got errors.
- Used `bin/files cycle` to cycle AES256 files. Verified metadata changed but file data did not. Verified file data was still decryptable with metadata.
- Ran `bin/files cycle --all`.
- Ran `encode` and `cycle` on chunked files, saw commands fail properly. These commands operate on the underlying data blocks, not the chunk metadata.
- Set key to `default`, uploaded a file, saw it stored as AES256.
