Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/59
Other updates:
- Update tests to use `/roomid/room1/date/2022/01/03` format instead of trying to retrofit the weird alias stuff on there. Which also makes the fancy to actual URL utilities much more simple.
- Update to specify `archiveMessageLimit` in the test case because pages have different number of events depending on if we are against a boundary, hidden events, etc.
- Less test bulk
- Single source of truth: there is no mismatch between the comment and the expectations (we already caught a few mistakes in the conversion thanks to this benefit)
- Easier to maintain and update
- Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/7
- A URL with time looks like
- `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59`
- Or when more precision is required (seconds): `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59:59`
- Add new custom time picker/scrubber (pictured below) with momentum scrubbing
- Native built-in `<input type="time">` for easier picking if you prefer that and accessibility.
- Uses localized time strings
- Design inspired by Thiago Sanchez's *Time Zone Translate* concept, https://dribbble.com/shots/14590546-Time-Zone-Translate
This change enables CORS support in the archive — to allow web developers to create web applications with frontend JavaScript code that can fetch pages from the archive (for example, for scraping content from chat logs).
Otherwise, without this change, web developers can’t create web apps with frontend JavaScript that can fetch chat logs from the archive and then consume the content of the logs.
It’s imaginable that web developers may find use cases for consuming the chat logs in the archive from frontend JavaScript code — at the simplest level, web apps that fetch and scrape logs to get data out of them or to pull out particular snippets from the logs.
Developers can anyway already scrape the contents of the archive — by using server-side programming languages or by using `curl` or whatever from the command line. They just can’t do the same from frontend JavaScript code, unless CORS support is enabled.

Summary:
- Changes the "Jump to next activity in room" to actually continue you to the next 100 messages ahead. Previously, it only jumped you to the single next event in the room which meant a lot of backwards overlap each time.
- Jumping this direction will also start your scroll position at the top of the timeline to continue reading seamlessly `?continue=top`
- Adds "Jump to previous activity in room" to the top of the timeline to continue reading the previous part of the conversation.
[1]: There is a caveat with seamless here which is also commented on in the code:
> XXX: This is flawed in the fact that when we go `/messages?dir=b` it could backfill messages which will fill up the response before we perfectly connect and continue from the position they were jumping from before. When `/messages?dir=f` backfills, we won't have this problem anymore because any messages backfilled in the forwards direction would be picked up the same going backwards.
(need forwards fill MSC)
This helps when someone just pastes a room alias on the end of the domain,
- `/#room-alias:server` -> `/r/room-alias:server`
- `/r/#room-alias:server/date/2022/10/27` -> `/r/room-alias:server/date/2022/10/27`
Since these redirects happen on the client, we can't write any e2e tests. Those e2e tests do everything but run client-side JavaScript.

Also does friendly redirects if you don't exactly use the right URL pattern.
For example, if you paste the full room ID with the `!` like `/roomid/!foo:bar`,
it will properly redirect you to `/roomid/foo:bar`. It also does this sort of
thing for URL encoded room ID's and aliases.

Page-load with the correct homeserver selected (according to `?homeserver`).
Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/92
Also makes sure that the `?homeserver` is always available somewhere in the list; whether that be in the available homeserver list or the added homeserver list depending on it someone cleared it out or never had it because they visited from someone else's link.

Regressed in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/pull/61 where we tried to serve this under `/css/hydrogen-styles.css` but it doesn't work because all of the image and font references in the CSS file expect it to be at the domain root so just reverted back to serving at the root `/`.
1. Add surrounding messages to the given messages so we have a full screen of content to make it feel lively even in quiet rooms
- As you scroll around the timeline across different days, the date changes in the URL, calendar, etc
2. Add summary item to the bottom of the timeline that explains if we couldn't find any messages in the specific day requested
- Also allows you to the jump to the next activity in the room. Adds `/:roomId/jump?ts=xxx&dir=[f|b]` to facilitate this.
- Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/46
3. Add developer options modal which is linked from the bottom of the right-panel
- Adds an option so you can debug the `IntersectionObserver` and how it's selecting the active day from the top-edge of the scroll viewport.
- In the future, this will also include a nice little visualization of the backend timing traces

Render pipeline separation of concerns:
1. Run in `child_process`
2. Hydrogen render
It's now just a generic `child_process` runner that runs the Hydrogen render in it. This eliminates the windy path of the 1-4 steps that was only held together by the file names themselves.
Split off from https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/pull/43
Listen to `process.on('uncaughtException', ...)` and handle the async errors ourselves so it no longer fails the child process.
And if the process does exit with status code 1 (error), we have those underlying errors serialized and shown.
OpenTelemetry tracing so we can see spans where the app is taking time.
For the user, we specifically show the spans for the external API HTTP requests
that are slow (so we know when the Matrix API is being slow).
Enable tracing:
- `npm run start -- --tracing`
- `npm run start-dev -- --tracing`
What does this PR change:
- Adds OpenTelemetry tracing with some of the automatic instrumentation (includes HTTP and express)
- We ignore traces for serving static assets (just noise)
- Adds `X-Trace-Id` to the response headers
- Adds `window.tracingSpansForRequest` which includes the external HTTP API requests made during the request
- Adds a fancy 504 timeout page that includes trace details and lists the slow HTTP requests
- Adds `jaegerTracesEndpoint` configuration to export tracing spans to Jaeger
- Related to, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/26
We now run the Hydrogen render in a `child_process` so we can exit the whole render process. We still use the `vm` to setup the browser-like globals. With a `vm`, everything continues to run even after it returns and there isn't a way to clean up, stop, kill, terminate the vm script or context so we need this extra `child_process` now to clean up. I don't like the complexity necessary for this though. I wish the `vm` API allowed for this use case. The only way to stop a `vm` is the `timeout` and we want to stop as soon as we return.

Get this project running again after a few months of changes
from `hydrogen-view-sdk` and now finally after
https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/pull/693
merged to make the SDK friendly to locally link and develop on.
Because we had to update the `assets` `export` to avoid the following deprecation warning:
```
(node:133896) [DEP0148] DeprecationWarning: Use of deprecated folder mapping "./assets/" in the "exports" field module resolution of the package at C:\Users\MLM\Documents\GitHub\element\matrix-public-archive\node_modules\hydrogen-view-sdk\package.json.
Update this package.json to use a subpath pattern like "./assets/*".
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
```
`hydrogen-view-sdk` `package.json` before:
```json
{
"exports": {
".": {
"import": "./lib-build/hydrogen.es.js",
"require": "./lib-build/hydrogen.cjs.js"
},
"./paths/vite": "./paths/vite.js",
"./style.css": "./style.css",
"./assets/": "./asset-build/assets/"
}
}
```
`hydrogen-view-sdk` `package.json` after:
```json
{
"exports": {
".": {
"import": "./lib-build/hydrogen.es.js",
"require": "./lib-build/hydrogen.cjs.js"
},
"./paths/vite": "./paths/vite.js",
"./style.css": "./style.css",
"./assets/*": "./asset-build/assets/*"
}
}
```
