Rework the upload process so that files are saved to Danbooru first
before the user starts tagging the upload.
The main user-visible change is that you have to select the file first
before you can start tagging it. Saving the file first lets us fix a
number of problems:
* We can check for dupes before the user tags the upload.
* We can perform dupe checks and show preview images for users not using the bookmarklet.
* We can show preview images without having to proxy images through Danbooru.
* We can show previews of videos and ugoira files.
* We can reliably show the filesize and resolution of the image.
* We can let the user save files to upload later.
* We can get rid of a lot of spaghetti code related to preprocessing
uploads. This was the cause of most weird "md5 confirmation doesn't
match md5" errors.
(Not all of these are implemented yet.)
Internally, uploading is now a two-step process: first we create an upload
object, then we create a post from the upload. This is how it works:
* The user goes to /uploads/new and chooses a file or pastes an URL into
the file upload component.
* The file upload component calls `POST /uploads` to create an upload.
* `POST /uploads` immediately returns a new upload object in the `pending` state.
* Danbooru starts processing the upload in a background job (downloading,
resizing, and transferring the image to the image servers).
* The file upload component polls `/uploads/$id.json`, checking the
upload `status` until it returns `completed` or `error`.
* When the upload status is `completed`, the user is redirected to /uploads/$id.
* On the /uploads/$id page, the user can tag the upload and submit it.
* The upload form calls `POST /posts` to create a new post from the upload.
* The user is redirected to the new post.
This is the data model:
* An upload represents a set of files uploaded to Danbooru by a user.
Uploaded files don't have to belong to a post. An upload has an
uploader, a status (pending, processing, completed, or error), a
source (unless uploading from a file), and a list of media assets
(image or video files).
* There is a has-and-belongs-to-many relationship between uploads and
media assets. An upload can have many media assets, and a media asset
can belong to multiple uploads. Uploads are joined to media assets
through a upload_media_assets table.
An upload could potentially have multiple media assets if it's a Pixiv
or Twitter gallery. This is not yet implemented (at the moment all
uploads have one media asset).
A media asset can belong to multiple uploads if multiple people try
to upload the same file, or if the same user tries to upload the same
file more than once.
New features:
* On the upload page, you can press Ctrl+V to paste an URL and immediately upload it.
* You can save files for upload later. Your saved files are at /uploads.
Fixes:
* Improved error messages when uploading invalid files, bad URLs, and
when forgetting the rating.
Update the minimum browser requirement from browsers released since
2012, to browsers released in the last 5 years.
This means PostCSS won't prefix CSS properties like `flex` or other
properties supported by browsers since 2017. Babel also won't transpile
Javascript syntax that has been supported by browsers since 2017.
Remove a PostCSS plugin used to workaround bugs in the `flex` CSS
property. Most of these bugs are no longer relevant and only affected
ancient browsers like IE 10 or 11.

Restructure the Dockerfile and the CSS/JS files so that we only rebuild
the CSS and JS when they change, not on every commit.
Before it took several minutes to rebuild the Docker image after every
commit, even when the JS/CSS files didn't change. This also made pulling
images slower.
This requires refactoring the CSS and JS to not use embedded Ruby (ERB)
templates, since this made the CSS and JS dependent on the Ruby
codebase, which is why we had to rebuild the assets after every Ruby
change.
Downgrade Webpack from 5.28.0 to 5.26.3. Breakage was introduced at
5.27.0. It's unclear if this is a regression of issue 12742 in Webpack
or if we're doing something else wrong.

Allow viewing Flash posts with the Ruffle emulator.
Known issues:
* Many flash files aren't fully supported.
* In development it sometimes spazzes out and starts triggering random
keyboard shortcuts when you press any key. This doesn't happen with
the browser extension.
* We have to put the .wasm file in the public/packs/js directory because
Ruffle is hardcoded to search for it there.
* If you're running Nginx, you need to make sure you're serving the
right MIME type for .wasm files or it won't work.
* We're using Some Random Guy's unofficial NPM package for Ruffle, since the
Ruffle project doesn't publish an official package themselves. We
should build our own package.

Regression caused by the upgrade to Webpacker 6.0 in 90cd3293e. This
caused various Javascript errors in old versions of Chrome, which
somehow resulted in the keyboard shortcut for visiting the next page
being triggered when you pressed any key.
Specifically, the mobx library (used by the TagCounter component) called
`Object.entries`, which isn't available in Chrome 49, and for some
unknown reason this triggered the buggy shortcut behavior.
`Object.entries` is supposed to be automatically polyfilled by Babel to
support old browsers, but something changed in Webpacker 6 that broke
this and I couldn't get it working again. The probable cause is that
Webpacker 6 no longer transpiles code inside ./node_modules by default,
which means that any libraries we use that use new Javascript features
won't get transpiled down to support old browsers, but even after fixing
that it still didn't work. The workaround is to just drop mobx and
preact entirely to avoid the issue.
Rewrite the tag counter widget (the one above the tag edit box) to use
React. This is a trial run for using React elsewhere.
We actually use Preact instead of React because it's lighter weight.
We use Mobx for state management because it's cleaner than React's
setState or useState.
This incidentally fixes a couple bugs:
* The tag counter wasn't updated when deleting tags with backspace
* The tag counter wasn't updated when pasting in new tags.
This was only used on the saved search index. It let you click on column
headers to sort the table by that column. This doesn't make sense now
that saved searches are paginated.
Add the following fonts:
* Comic (Comic Relief)
* Slab Sans (Anton)
* Slab Serif (Rokkitt)
* Formal Serif (Lora)
* Formal Cursive (Petit Formal Script)
* Print (Kalam)
* Hand (Indie Flower)
* Narrow (Archivo Narrow)
* Blackletter (Unifraktur Maguntia)
Add the following font aliases:
* Comic Sans MS is aliased to Comic Relief.
* Arial Narrow is aliased to Archivo Narrow.
* Rockwell is aliased to Rokkitt.
* Impact is aliased to Anton.
Very old browsers (in particular, Firefox 16 and iOS 8.4 Safari) don't
support flexbox without prefixes, which breaks sidebar and comment
layouts. Extend the browserlist config so that autoprefixer generates
flexbox prefixes for these browsers.
