* Add script to trigger test on utils
* Add new function to remove the comments from the settings file.
It reduces the size of the payload when we save on the admin page `.../admin/settings`
* Add font-family: monospace; to the settings
* Upgrade the live-plugin-manager
* Fix migration scripts to skip checking for the system directory of live-plugin-manager
* Updated lockfile
* Improved handling of install.

Advantages of a top-level `package.json`:
* It prevents npm from printing benign warnings about missing
`package.json` whenever a plugin is installed.
* Semantically, it is "the right thing to do" if plugins are to be
installed in the top-level directory. This avoids violating
assumptions various tools make about `package.json`, which makes
it more likely that we can easily switch to a new version of npm
or to an npm alternative.
Disadvantages of a top-level `package.json`:
* Including a dependency of `ep_etherpad-lite@file:src` in the
top-level `package.json`, which is required to keep npm from
deleting the `node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink each time a
package is installed, drastically slows down plugin installation
because npm recursively walks the ep_etherpad-lite dependencies.
* npm has a horrible dependency hoisting behavior: It moves
dependencies from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level
`node_modules/` directory when possible. This causes numerous
mysterious problems, such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and
`npm update`, and it breaks plugins that do
`require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')`.
Right now, with npm v6.x, eliminating the disadvantages is far more
valuable than keeping the advantages. (This might change with npm
v7.x.)
For a long time there was no top-level `package.json` and it worked
fairly well, although users were often confused by npm's benign
warnings. The top-level `package.json` was added because we needed a
place to put ESLint config for the stuff in `bin/` and `tests/`, and
we wanted the advantages listed above. Unfortunately we were unaware
of the disadvantages at the time. The `bin/` and `tests/` directories
were moved under `src/` so we no longer need the top-level
`package.json` for ESLint.
An alternative to a top-level `package.json`: Create
`plugins/package.json` and install all plugins in `plugins/`. If
`plugins/package.json` has a dependency of
`ep_etherpad-lite@file:../src` then plugin installation will still be
slow (npm will still recursively walk the dependencies in
`src/package.json`) but it should avoid npm's nasty dependency
hoisting behavior. To avoid slow plugin installation we could create a
lightweight `etherpad-pluginlib` package that Etherpad plugins would
use to indirectly access Etherpad's internals. As an added bonus, this
intermediate package could become an adaptor that provides a stable
interface to plugins even when Etherpad core rapidly evolves.
Also add symlinks from the old `bin/` and `tests/` locations to avoid
breaking scripts and other tools.
Motivations:
* Scripts and tests no longer have to do dubious things like:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
to access packages installed as dependencies in
`src/package.json`.
* Plugins can access the backend test helper library in a non-hacky
way:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')
* We can delete the top-level `package.json` without breaking our
ability to lint the files in `bin/` and `tests/`.
Deleting the top-level `package.json` has downsides: It will cause
`npm` to print warnings whenever plugins are installed, npm will
no longer be able to enforce a plugin's peer dependency on
ep_etherpad-lite, and npm will keep deleting the
`node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink that points to `../src`.
But there are significant upsides to deleting the top-level
`package.json`: It will drastically speed up plugin installation
because `npm` doesn't have to recursively walk the dependencies in
`src/package.json`. Also, deleting the top-level `package.json`
avoids npm's horrible dependency hoisting behavior (where it moves
stuff from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level `node_modules/`
directory). Dependency hoisting causes numerous mysterious
problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm
update`. Dependency hoisting also breaks plugins that do:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
