By some CI fine tunes (`run tests`), SQLite & MSSQL could complete
in about 12~13 minutes (before > 14), MySQL could complete in 18 minutes
(before: about 23 or even > 30)
Major changes:
1. use tmpfs for MySQL storage
1. run `make test-mysql` instead of `make integration-test-coverage`
because the code coverage is not really used at the moment.
1. refactor testlogger to make it more reliable and be able to report
stuck stacktrace
1. do not requeue failed items when a queue is being flushed (failed
items would keep failing and make flush uncompleted)
1. reduce the file sizes for testing
1. use math ChaCha20 random data instead of crypot/rand (for testing
purpose only)
1. no need to `DeleteRepository` in `TestLinguist`
1. other related refactoring to make code easier to maintain
In profiling integration tests, I found a couple places where per-test
overhead could be reduced:
* Avoiding disk IO by synchronizing instead of deleting & copying test
Git repository data. This saves ~100ms per test on my machine
* When flushing queues in `PrintCurrentTest`, invoke `FlushWithContext`
in a parallel.

Fix#30643
The old test code is not stable due to the data-race described in the
TODO added at that time.
Make it stable, and remove a debug-only field from old test code.
Without `case <-t.C`, the workers would stop incorrectly, the test won't
pass. For the worse case, there might be only one running worker
processing the queue items for long time because other workers are
stopped. The root cause is related to the logic of doDispatchBatchToWorker.
It isn't a serious problem at the moment, so keep it as-is.
Before there was a "graceful function": RunWithShutdownFns, it's mainly
for some modules which doesn't support context.
The old queue system doesn't work well with context, so the old queues
need it.
After the queue refactoring, the new queue works with context well, so,
use Golang context as much as possible, the `RunWithShutdownFns` could
be removed (replaced by RunWithCancel for context cancel mechanism), the
related code could be simplified.
This PR also fixes some legacy queue-init problems, eg:
* typo : archiver: "unable to create codes indexer queue" => "unable to
create repo-archive queue"
* no nil check for failed queues, which causes unfriendly panic
After this PR, many goroutines could have better display name:
# ⚠️ Breaking
Many deprecated queue config options are removed (actually, they should
have been removed in 1.18/1.19).
If you see the fatal message when starting Gitea: "Please update your
app.ini to remove deprecated config options", please follow the error
messages to remove these options from your app.ini.
Example:
```
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [F] Please update your app.ini to remove deprecated config options
```
Many options in `[queue]` are are dropped, including:
`WRAP_IF_NECESSARY`, `MAX_ATTEMPTS`, `TIMEOUT`, `WORKERS`,
`BLOCK_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_WORKERS`, they can be removed
from app.ini.
# The problem
The old queue package has some legacy problems:
* complexity: I doubt few people could tell how it works.
* maintainability: Too many channels and mutex/cond are mixed together,
too many different structs/interfaces depends each other.
* stability: due to the complexity & maintainability, sometimes there
are strange bugs and difficult to debug, and some code doesn't have test
(indeed some code is difficult to test because a lot of things are mixed
together).
* general applicability: although it is called "queue", its behavior is
not a well-known queue.
* scalability: it doesn't seem easy to make it work with a cluster
without breaking its behaviors.
It came from some very old code to "avoid breaking", however, its
technical debt is too heavy now. It's a good time to introduce a better
"queue" package.
# The new queue package
It keeps using old config and concept as much as possible.
* It only contains two major kinds of concepts:
* The "base queue": channel, levelqueue, redis
* They have the same abstraction, the same interface, and they are
tested by the same testing code.
* The "WokerPoolQueue", it uses the "base queue" to provide "worker
pool" function, calls the "handler" to process the data in the base
queue.
* The new code doesn't do "PushBack"
* Think about a queue with many workers, the "PushBack" can't guarantee
the order for re-queued unhandled items, so in new code it just does
"normal push"
* The new code doesn't do "pause/resume"
* The "pause/resume" was designed to handle some handler's failure: eg:
document indexer (elasticsearch) is down
* If a queue is paused for long time, either the producers blocks or the
new items are dropped.
* The new code doesn't do such "pause/resume" trick, it's not a common
queue's behavior and it doesn't help much.
* If there are unhandled items, the "push" function just blocks for a
few seconds and then re-queue them and retry.
* The new code doesn't do "worker booster"
* Gitea's queue's handlers are light functions, the cost is only the
go-routine, so it doesn't make sense to "boost" them.
* The new code only use "max worker number" to limit the concurrent
workers.
* The new "Push" never blocks forever
* Instead of creating more and more blocking goroutines, return an error
is more friendly to the server and to the end user.
There are more details in code comments: eg: the "Flush" problem, the
strange "code.index" hanging problem, the "immediate" queue problem.
Almost ready for review.
TODO:
* [x] add some necessary comments during review
* [x] add some more tests if necessary
* [x] update documents and config options
* [x] test max worker / active worker
* [x] re-run the CI tasks to see whether any test is flaky
* [x] improve the `handleOldLengthConfiguration` to provide more
friendly messages
* [x] fine tune default config values (eg: length?)
