Because of tracking, `test_patch_acl` needs access to message subtypes
during patch creation. If the user *only* has
`runbot_merge.group_patcher` or `runbot_merge.group_admin` they don't
have any of the "core" user groups (public, portal, internal) and thus
don't have access to mail subtypes.
Fix that by having the runbot_merge groups imply being an internal
user.
Unstaged changes can be useful or necessary for some tasks
e.g. absolute emergency (where even faking the state of a staging is
not really desirable, if that's even possible anymore), or changes
which are so broad they're difficult to stage (e.g. t10s updates).
Add a new object which serves as a queue for patch to direct-apply,
with support for either text patches (udiff style out of git show or
format-patch) or commits to cherry-pick. In the former case, the part
of the show / format-patch before the diff itself is used for the
commit metadata (author, committer, dates, message) whereas for the
commit version the commit itself is reused as-is.
Applied patches are simply disabled for traceability.
Fixes#926
Add support for the ability to validate *stagings* over RPC rather
than via webhook. This may later be expanded to PRs as well.
The core motivation for this is to avoid bouncing through github which
sometimes drops the ball on statuses, and it's frustrating to have a
staging time out because GH fucked up.
Implemented via RPC, requiring both the staging itself (by id) and the
head commit being affected, as that is necessary to know what CIs are
required for that head and correctly report cross branch on the
various PRs.
Fix#881 (kinda)
