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.

13590b9e3d Rename the support/jshint directory.
Summary: It is somewhat overkill to use an entire directory for a single file (the configuration file for JSHint). Instead, rename the directory so that it could (theoretically) be used for other linter configuration files.

Test Plan: Ran `arc lint -- webroot/rsrc/js/core/phtize.js` just to make sure everything still works.

76cefde0b3 Show Aphlict connection status in notification menu
Summary:
Fixes T5373. Ref T5281. Several changes:

  - The `marshallExceptions` thing is useful if JS throws an exception when invoked from Flash, so set it. The resulting exceptions are a little odd (not escaped correctly, e.g.) but way better than nothing.
  - Put connection status in the notification menu.
  - When the connection fails, try to provide contextual help where we can.

dd91732df3 Make JX.Aphlict a real singleton with a more sensible initialization order
Summary:
Ref T5373. The control flow between `aphlict-listener` and `JX.Aphlict` is pretty weird right now, where the listener (which is the highest-level component) has intimate knowledge of how to put the SWF on the page.

Instead:

  - Make `JX.Aphlict` a real singleton.
  - Instantiate it sooner.
  - Have it handle the flash setup handshake.

Test Plan: Loaded page in debug mode, saw normal flow take place.

Also stop popping bubbles and just use the log, since users find the bubbles confusing/not useful and they're not great for developers either.

Future diffs will expose more user-facing stuff.

cbd95b91b5 Implement unsubscription in the Aphlict client.
Summary: Ref T5284. When an `AphlictClient` is closed, it will eventually be purged from the pool by the `AphlictMaster`. When this happens, also unsubscribe the purged client from all notifications, and send an `unsubscribe` command to the Aphlict server if possible.

Test Plan:
Verified the output of the Aphlict server (running in debug mode):

aa534c69f0 Move subscription updates to the register function.
Summary: Currently, the `AphlictClient` will only send its subscriptions to the `AphlictMaster` once. If the original `AphlictMaster` is closed and a new master is created, then client subscriptions will be lost.

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:

```

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.

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' }
```

a42ec32c98 Modify the Aphlict client to use LocalConnection.
Summary:
Ref T4324. Currently, an Aphlict client (with a corresponding connection to the Aphlict Server) is created for every tab that a user has open. This significantly affects the scalability of Aphlict as a service. Instead, we can use `LocalConnection` instances to coordinate the communication of multiple Aphlict clients to the server.

Similar functionality existed prior to D2704, but was removed as the author was not able to get this functionality working as intended. It seems that the main issue with the initial attempt was the use of the `setTimeout` function, which seemed to be a blocking call which prevented messages from being received. I have instead used an event-based model using a `Timer` object.

Roughly this works as follows:

# The first instance will create an `AphlictClient` and an `AphlictMaster`. The `AphlictClient` will register itself with the `AphlictMaster` and will consequently be notified of incoming messages.
# The `AphlictClient` is then responsible for pinging the `AphlictMaster` at regular intervals. If the client does not ping the master in a given period of time, the master will assume that the client is dead and will remove the client from the pool.
# Similarly, the `AphlictMaster` is required to respond to pings with a "pong" response. The pong response lets the clients know that the `AphlictMaster` is still alive. If the clients do not receive a pong in a given period of time, then the clients will attempt to spawn a new master.

Test Plan: I have tested this on our Phabricator install with a few tabs opened and inspecting the console output. I will upload a screencast of my test results.

4d0935ba5e Rate limit requests by IP
Summary:
Fixes T3923. On `secure.phabricator.com`, we occasionally get slowed to a crawl when someone runs a security scanner against us, or 5 search bots decide to simultaneously index every line of every file in Diffusion.

Every time a user makes a request, give their IP address some points. If they get too many points in 5 minutes, start blocking their requests automatically for a while.

We give fewer points for logged in requests. We could futher refine this (more points for a 404, more points for a really slow page, etc.) but let's start simply.

Also, provide a mechanism for configuring this, and configuring the LB environment stuff at the same time (this comes up rarely, but we don't have a good answer right now).

Test Plan: Used `ab` and reloading over and over again to hit rate limits. Read documentation.

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.

- 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).

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.
