Zulip Server 3.0 is now about 21 months old, which is more than
18 months. Per the general policy in the "Client apps" section
below, that means it's time to drop support for older versions.
We released 4.0 in 2021-05, so around 2022-11 we can update this
further to say 4.0.
We remove the StackOverflow link because it is now so dated as to be
irrelevant -- it does not use `self.ident`, and cargo-cults the return
value of PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc.

As noted in the docstring for this function, the timeout is
best-effort only -- if the thread is blocked in a syscall, it will not
service the exception until it returns. It can also choose to catch
and ignore the TimeoutExpired; in either case it will still be running
even after the `timeout()` function returns.
Raising a vare TimeoutExpired it still somewhat accurate, but obscures
that the backend thread may still be running along merrily. Notice
such cases, and log a warning about them.
(cherry picked from commit 3af2c8d9a3)
Having just thrown an exception into the thread, it is often useful to
know _what_ was the slow code that we interrupted. Raising a bare
TimeoutExpired here obscures that information, as any `exc_info` will
end there.
Examine the thread for any exception information, and use that to
re-raise. This exception information is not guaranteed to exist -- if
the thread didn't respond to the exception in time, or caught it, for
instance.

The quote in question originates in python/cpython@b8b6d0c2c6, when
the code was added. However, the code stopped having that comment,
and was no longer able to return anything but 1 or 0, starting in
python/cpython@4643c2fda1 -- Python 2.5.
Remove the block.

Some email hosts actually do want an empty password; since the default
is `None`, we should key on that, and not just being false-y.
(cherry picked from commit ee04f42897)
Failure to pull the default "zulip" value here can lead to
accidentally applying a `postgres_password` value which is unnecessary
and may never work.
For consistency, always skip password auth attempts for the "zulip"
user on localhost, even if the password is set. This mirrors the
behavior of `process_fts_updates`.

do_deactivate_user can't be run in an atomic block due to concerns
around revoking session in a transaction. See
62ba8e455d for more details.
Without the change in this commit, the process of deactivating a user
via SCIM is broken.
On the Debian 10 -> 11 upgrade, the server is running Zulip 4.x, which
lets us pass `--audit-fts-indexes` to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` rather
than run the command as a separate step.
(cherry picked from commit 488aaef9b7)
The reindex-textual-data tool needs the venv to be cable to run;
switch the order of the last two steps, making them now match the
Debian 9 -> 10 and 10 -> upgrades.
Ref #21296.

We were not setting the `historical` flag correctly for
messages fetched via `json_fetch_raw_message` when used didn't
have any UserMessage.
Extended relevant tests to fetch check message flags too.
In 85e531e377, we duplicated this block
of migration code to fix a bug, but moving it (aka deleting the
original copy) is a cleaner solution.
(cherry picked from commit 35e27aef4a)
7c4293a7d3 switched to checking if the
service was already running, and use `supervisorctl start` if it was
not.
Unfortunately, `list_supervisor_processes("zulip-tornado:*")` did not
include `zulip-tornado`, and as such a non-sharded process was always
considered to _not_ be running, and was thus started, not restarted.
Starting an already-started service is a no-op, and thus non-sharded
tornado processes were never restarted.
The observed behaviour is that requests to the tornado process attempt
to load the user from the cache, with a different prefix from Django,
and immediately invalidate the session and eject the user back to the
login page.
Fix the `list_supervisor_processes` logic to match without the
trailing `:*`.
