no issue
- The sleep method has been used in 8 modules reimplementing the same thing over and over again. It's usually a sign of async event processing outside of the request/response loop. It's good to have a single point of implementation for a "hack" like this, so we could track it easier and address the even processing delay in a more optimal way centrally if it ever becomes a bottleneck

This change requires the frontend to send an explicit `emailType` when sending a magic link. We default to `subscribe` (`signin` for invite only sites) for now to remain compatible with the existing behaviour.
**Problem:**
When a member tries to login and that member doesn't exist, we created a new member in the past.
- This caused the creation of duplicate accounts when members were guessing the email address they used.
- This caused the creation of new accounts when using an old impersonation token, login link or email change link that was sent before member deletion.
**Fixed:**
- Trying to login with an email address that doesn't exist will throw an error now.
- Added new and separate rate limiting to login (to prevent user enumeration). This rate limiting has a higher default limit of 8. I think it needs a higher default limit (because it is rate limited on every call instead of per email address. And it should be configurable independent from administrator rate limiting. It also needs a lower lifetime value because it is never reset.
- Updated error responses in the `sendMagicLink` endpoint to use the default error encoding middleware.
- The type (`signin`, `signup`, `updateEmail` or `subscribe`) is now stored in the magic link. This is used to prevent signups with a sign in token.
**Notes:**
- Between tests, we truncate the database, but this is not enough for the rate limits to be truly reset. I had to add a method to the spam prevention service to reset all the instances between tests. Not resetting them caused random failures because every login in every test was hitting those spam prevention middlewares and somehow left a trace of that in those instances (even when the brute table is reset). Maybe those instances were doing some in memory caching.

Without validation it was possible to send a string of comma separated
email addresses to the endpoint, and an email would be sent to each
address, bypassing any rate limiting.
This bug does not allow for an authentication bypass exploit. It is purely a
spam email concern.

- triggers free member email alert via event dispatch from member create method
- passes subscription/stripe data to member creation for paid members so free member alert can be ignored for them
- moves subscription created event being called from webhook controller to `linkSubscription`, allows creating subscription events for all new subscriptions instead of ones just via webhooks
In case there is an issue with the filtering of items in our client
side attribution script, we also check for and remove out of date
items here. This ensures that we do not erroneously attribute signups
or conversions to webpages from more than 24h ago.

### Changes in `member-events` package
- Added MemberCreatedEvent (event, not model)
- Added SubscriptionCreatedEvent (event, not model)
### Added `member-attribution` package (new)
- Added the AttributionBuilder class which is able to convert a url history to an attribution object (exposed as getAttribution on the service itself, which handles the dependencies)
```
[{
"path": "/",
"time": 123
}]
```
to
```
{
"url": "/",
"id": null,
"type": "url"
}
```
- event handler listens for MemberCreatedEvent and SubscriptionCreatedEvent and creates the corresponding models in the database.
### Changes in `members-api` package
- Added urlHistory to `sendMagicLink` endpoint body + convert the urlHistory to an attribution object that is stored in the tokenData of the magic link (sent by Portal in this PR: https://github.com/TryGhost/Portal/pull/256).
- Added urlHistory to `createCheckoutSession` endpoint + convert the urlHistory to attribution keys that are saved in the Stripe Session metadata (sent by Portal in this PR: https://github.com/TryGhost/Portal/pull/256).
- Added attribution data property to member repository's create method (when a member is created)
- Dispatch MemberCreatedEvent with attribution
### Changes in `members-stripe-service` package (`ghost/stripe`)
- Dispatch SubscriptionCreatedEvent in WebhookController on subscription checkout (with attribution from session metadata)
