The main benefit we're getting from this refactor is semantics, `Escape` to close modal, and focus lock.
We have one existing modal with the Developer Options.
This refactor is happening so it can be used to add a new homeserver in the homeserver selector on the room directory page, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/pull/87
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
Bigger more clickable buttons on mobile. Feels a lot better on a phone. The buttons already have invisible margin in their hitbox but the bigger size makes your thumb less cramped to the edge to click them.
Also reduce the container padding so it feels more balanced in the single column card layout.

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.
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

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.
