Alex Vandiver 8ae167dc05 upgrade-zulip-from-git: We may need to fill in a zulip-git-version file.
Installs which are upgrading to current `main`, and are upgrading for
the very first time from an install which was originally from git,
have a `/home/zulip/deployments/current` which, unlike all later
upgrades, is not a `git worktree` of `/srv/zulip.git`, but rather a
direct `git clone` of some arbitrary URL.  As such, it does not have
an `upstream` remote, nor a cached `zulip-git-version` file.

This makes later attempts to determine the pre-upgrade revision of
git (for pre-deploy hooks) fail, as without a `zulip-git-version`
file, `ZULIP_VERSION` is insufficiently-specific (e.g. `6.1+git`), and
there is no guarantee the necessary tags exist either.

While we can make fresh git installs set up an `upstream` and run
`./tools/cache-zulip-git-version` going forward (see subsequent
commit), that does not address the issue for deploys which already
exist.  For those, we must configure and fetch a `remote` in the old
checkout, followed by re-generating a cached `zulip-git-version`.

Fixes: #25076.

This directory contains scripts that:

  • Generally do not require access to Django or the database (those are "management commands"), and thus are suitable to run operationally.

  • Are useful for managing a production deployment of Zulip (many are also used in a Zulip development environment, though development-only scripts live in tools/).
