dmpWorker is run as a childProcess, which is a completely separate
nodejs instance. As such, the `logger` it obtains is a separate instance
than the one in the parent. The parent reads the config file to
determine the log level, but the childProcess does not. So the log level
used in dmpWorker is always `debug`, regardless of the configuration
options.
In addition to polluting the logs, this is potentially a privacy issue,
because `dmpWorker` logs the diffs of notes at the `debug` level, which
will then enter the system logs.
This commit fixes this by making `dmpWorker` send any messages back to
the parent, who is responsible for logging. This also avoids any
potential race conditions between the two loggers writing to the same
output.

Synk reported an Remote Code Execution vulnerability for the
passport-ldapauth dependency `bunyan`. This RCE is due to wrong command
sanitizing but doesn't only affects the executable the libary provides.
It has no impact on CodiMD.
This patch just updates passport-ldapauth since it's long overdue anyway
and to silence annoying security scanners that pretend this is rather
critical for us.

Previously, upon receiving a termination signal, the process tries to
flush all changes to the database, retrying every 0.1s until it
succeeds. However, if the database is not set up properly, this always
fails, and spams the terminal/logging with the error message 10 times a
second.
If the user sends another termination signal, the handleTermSignal
function is called once again, and we get twice the number of error
messages.
This commit changes the behaviour in various ways.
(1) It lowers the retry rate to 0.5s, and aborts after 30 seconds.
(2) If the write to the database errored, the error message explains
that this is due to us flushing the final changes.
(3) We replace realtime.maintenance with realtime.state, which is an
Enum with three possible states --- Starting, Running, and Stopping.
If a termination signal is received in the starting state, the
process simply aborts because there is nothing to clean up. This is
the case when the database is misconfigured, since the application
starts up only after connecting to the databse. If it is in the
Stopping state, the handleTermSignal function returns because
another instance of handleTermSignal is already running.

This makes it more convenient to modify the permission model, both for
future modifications and for custom installations.
This changes the `owner` property of NoteSession to `ownerId`, which is
a more accurate description anyway.

OAuth2 allows the user to only consent to a subset of the scopes
requested. Previously, the Generic Oauth2 implementation assumes that
the `username`, `email` and `displayName` attributes are supplied, and
may crash if they are not defined.
This commit allows for `email` and `displayName` to not be defined,
either through the user refusing consent or the OAuth2 configuration
not asking for them in the first place (by not setting
`userProfile*Attr`).
If `email` is not provided, the `emails` property is simply left empty.
If `displayName` is not provided, it is left undefined, and CodiMD uses
the `username` whenever the `displayName` is expected.
This does not deal with the case where `username` is not provided. Since
usernames are not unique in CodiMD, it is possible to deal with this by
setting a dummy username. This can be added in a future commit if
desired.

This allows configuring the group and mode of the unix socket after it
has been created to allow reverse proxies to access it. Fixes#317.
I decided to call `chown` and `chgrp` directly to change the owner and
group (the former will almost definitely not be called; only root can
chown a file to another user, and you are not running codimd as root. It
is included for consistency).
The nodejs chown/chgrp functions only accepts uid and gid, not the names
of the user or group. The standard way to convert a group name into a gid
is the `uid-number` package. The way this package works is that
1. It spawns a new nodejs process
2. The new nodejs process calls nodejs' setgid function, which *does*
accept both the group name and gid
3. It then calls getuid to retrieve the uid of the process, and returns
it to the parent process via stdout.
While this *works*, it is hacky, and if we are spawning a process
anyway, might as well call `chgrp` directly.
This does not update the documentation because we are merging into
release/2.0.x but master reworks the configuration section of the
documentation, so there will be a conflict when we merge anyway.

The code intends to check if the note is anonymous by checking if it has
an owner. If it is anonymous, the default permission must be `freely`.
However, at this point in the code, `owner` is never populated; only
`ownerId` is. The property `owner` is automatically filled in *after*
the Note is created, but this call happens before that.
Thus, the default note permission is always `freely`, regardless of the
`defaultPermission` setting. By checking `ownerId` instead of `owner`,
the anonymity and hence default permission is correctly determined,
This is especially an issue when `allowAnonymous` is `false`, since this
would allow the user to create a note with `freely` permission when it
should not be allowed.

The OAuth2 specification RECOMMENDS setting the state to protect against
CSRF attacks. Some OAuth2 providers (e.g. ORY Hydra) refuse to

The previous Profile type was renamed to PassportProfile, as it is only used for profile-information from Passport plugins.
All functions relating to profile-parsing are now encapsulated in the PhotoProfile class (naming still debatable).

It should be possible to run a backend build without the need to start
the application and without the need to fiddle around with PATH or
fiddling with `node_modules`. Therefore this patch splits the build
command into `build-frontend` and `build-backend`, which will allow
those builds to be done independent and have a separate command `build`
which will provide the combination of both of them.

It turns out our shiny new typed ES2015 `Map`s are not serializable to JSON. :(
Luckily, we only use strings as keys and can write a function that converts them to serializable objects!
