When using certain proxy setups that result in `host` and `x-forwarded-host` being different, it became impossible to access Ghost because all routes showed generic 404 pages.
- `vhost` module that we are using to separate front-end and admin urls does not use express' `req.hostname` so it does not pick up the `x-forwarded-host` url that express' `'trust proxy'` config gives us
- switched to the forked `@tryghost/vhost-middleware` package which has a one-line change to use `req.hostname || req.host`
- added `'trust proxy'` config to the admin express app and switched to using `req.hostname` in our redirect code to avoid infinite redirect loops
closes#10773
- The refactoring is a substitute for `urlService.utils` used previously throughout the codebase and now extracted into the separate module in Ghost-SDK
- Added url-utils stubbing utility for test suites
- Some tests had to be refactored to avoid double mocks (when url's are being reset inside of rested 'describe' groups)
no issue
- by default the `/ghost/` route will add an `x-frame-options: sameorigin` header to the response to help protect the admin area against clickjacking
- the header can be disabled by adding `"adminFrameProtection": false` to the `config.{env}.json` configuration file

no issue
- optimised only for web/ folder, because it has used very general namespaces
- the debug namespace must be specific, otherwise i run `DEBUG=ghost:api:*` and i get web debug logs and api folder debug logs
- we can come up with a new namespace system, but for now it must be explicit enough
closes#5071
- Remove hardcoded notification in admin controller
- NOTE: update check notifications are no longer blocking the admin rendering
- this is one of the most import changes
- we remove the hardcoded release message
- we also remove adding a notification manually in here, because this will work differently from now on
-> you receive a notification (release or custom) in the update check module and this module adds the notification as is to our database
- Change default core settings keys
- remove displayUpdateNotification
-> this was used to store the release version number send from the UCS
-> based on this value, Ghost creates a notification container with self defined values
-> not needed anymore
- rename seenNotifications to notifications
-> the new notifications key will hold both
1. the notification from the USC
2. the information about if a notification was seen or not
- this key hold only one release notification
- and n custom notifications
- Update Check Module: Request to the USC depends on the privacy configuration
- useUpdateCheck: true -> does a checkin in the USC (exposes data)
- useUpdateCheck: false -> does only a GET query to the USC (does not expose any data)
- make the request handling dynamic, so it depends on the flag
- add an extra logic to be able to define a custom USC endpoint (helpful for testing)
- add an extra logic to be able to force the request to the service (helpful for testing)
- Update check module: re-work condition when a check should happen
- only if the env is not correct
- remove deprecated config.updateCheck
- remove isPrivacyDisabled check (handled differently now, explained in last commit)
- Update check module: remove `showUpdateNotification` and readability
- showUpdateNotification was used in the admin controller to fetch the latest release version number from the db
- no need to check against semver in general, the USC takes care of that (no need to double check)
- improve readability of `nextUpdateCheck` condition
- Update check module: refactor `updateCheckResponse`
- remove db call to displayUpdateNotification, not used anymore
- support receiving multiple custom notifications
- support custom notification groups
- the default group is `all` - this will always be consumed
- groups can be extended via config e.g. `notificationGroups: ['migration']`
- Update check module: refactor createCustomNotification helper
- get rid of taking over notification duplication handling (this is not the task of the update check module)
- ensure we have good fallback values for non present attributes in a notification
- get rid of semver check (happens in the USC) - could be reconsidered later if LTS is gone
- Refactor notification API
- reason: get rid of in process notification store
-> this was an object hold in process
-> everything get's lost after restart
-> not helpful anymore, because imagine the following case
-> you get a notification
-> you store it in process
-> you mark this notification as seen
-> you restart Ghost, you will receive the same notification on the next check again
-> because we are no longer have a separate seen notifications object
- use database settings key `notification` instead
- refactor all api endpoints to support reading and storing into the `notifications` object
- most important: notification deletion happens via a `seen` property (the notification get's physically deleted 3 month automatically)
-> we have to remember a seen property, because otherwise you don't know which notification was already received/seen
- Add listener to remove seen notifications automatically after 3 month
- i just decided for 3 month (we can decrease?)
- at the end it doesn't really matter, as long as the windows is not tooooo short
- listen on updates for the notifications settings
- check if notification was seen and is older than 3 month
- ignore release notification
- Updated our privacy document
- Updated docs.ghost.org for privacy config behaviour
- contains a migration script to remove old settings keys

- we have to take care that we don't end up in circular dependencies
- e.g. API requires UrlService and UrlService needs to require the API (for requesting data)
- update the references
- we would like to get rid of the utils folder, this is/was the most complicated change
refs #9178
- move express apps to one place (called `web`)
- requires https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Admin/pull/923
- any further improvements are not part of this PR
- this PR just moves the files and ensures the paths are up-to-date
