a000a93dc6 Refactor startup/shutdown for tests
* `src/node/server.js` can now be run as a script (for normal
    operation) or imported as a module (for tests).
  * Move shutdown actions to `src/node/server.js` to be close to the
    startup actions.
  * Put startup and shutdown in functions so that tests can call them.
  * Use `await` instead of callbacks.
  * Block until the HTTP server is listening to avoid races during
    test startup.
  * Add a new `shutdown` hook.
  * Use the `shutdown` hook to:
      * close the HTTP server
      * call `end()` on the stats collection to cancel its timers
      * call `terminate()` on the Threads.Pool to stop the workers
  * Exit with exit code 0 (instead of 1) on SIGTERM.
  * Export the HTTP server so that tests can get the HTTP server's
    port via `server.address().port` when `settings.port` is 0.

b80a37173e security: Fix authorization bypass vulnerability
Before, a malicious user could bypass authorization restrictions
imposed by the authorize hook:

 * Step 1: Fetch any resource that the malicious user is authorized to
   access (e.g., static content).
 * Step 2: Use the signed express_sid cookie generated in step 1 to
   create a socket.io connection.
 * Step 3: Perform the CLIENT_READY handshake for the desired pad.
 * Step 4: Profit!

Now the authorization decision made by the authorize hook is
propagated to SecurityManager so that it can approve or reject
socket.io messages as appropriate.

This also sets up future support for per-user read-only and
modify-only (no create) authorization levels.
