Differential Revision: https://secure.phabricator.com/D13263
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).

Summary:
Fixes T6741. This allows Almanac services to be locked from the CLI. Locked services (and their bindings, interfaces and devices) can not be edited. This serves two similar use cases:
- For normal installs, you can protect cluster configuration from an attacker who compromises an account (or generally harden services which are intended to be difficult to edit).
- For Phacility, we can lock externally-managed instance cluster configuration without having to pull any spooky tricks.
Test Plan:
- Locked and unlocked services.
- Verified locking a service locks connected properties, bindings, binding properties, interfaces, devices, and device properties.

Summary:
Fixes T5926. Fixes T5830. Ref T4767. Users currently sometimes have a hard time understanding repository update frequencies. This is compounded by aggressive backoff and incorrect backoff while importing repositories.
- Don't back off while importing repositories. This prevents us from hanging at 99.99% for inactive repositories while waiting for the next update.
- Back off less aggressively in general, and even more gradually during the first 3 days. This should make behavior around weekends better.
- Show update frequency in the UI.
- Provide an explicit "update now" button to call `diffusion.looksoon` in a more user-friendly way.
- Document how backoff policies work and how to adjust behavior.
Test Plan:
- Ran `bin/phd debug pulllocal` and verified backoff worked correctly from debugging output.
- Clicked "Update Now" to get a hint, reloaded page to see it update.
- Read documentation.
