This PR updates the build script:
* fixed issue where program version check was not properly triggering;
* improved `git-clean` command to correctly clear Scala artifacts;
* added `run.ps1` wrapper to the build script that works better with PowerShell than `run.cmd`;
* increased timeouts to work around failures on macOS nightly builds;
* replaced depracated GitHub Actions APIs (set-output) with their new equivalents;
* workaround for issue with electron builder (python2 lookup) on newer macOS runner images;
* GUI and backend dispatches to cloud were completed;
* release workflow allows creating RC releases.
This PR reenables code signing and notarization on macOS.
[ci no changelog needed]
# Important Notes
* electron-builder has been bumped, mostly to avoid missing Python issue. A workaround for a regression with Windows installer is provided as a patch.
* added polyfill globals plugin to fix issue with missing types like Buffer that was affecting nightly releases;
* fixed exit code propagation for Windows build script wrapper;
* bumped the build script and refreshed the generated workflows.
Includes https://github.com/enso-org/ci-build/pull/8
This PR reenables code signing on Windows.
Each Windows package built on CI should be now signed.
Additionally, some refactorings were done around electron-builder config, so it is easier to use outside the build script and offers more configuration options.
Execution of `sbt runtime/bench` doesn't seem to be part of the gate. As such it can happen a change into the Enso language syntax, standard libraries, runtime & co. can break the benchmarks suite without being noticed. Integrating such PR causes unnecessary disruptions to others using the benchmarks.
Let's make sure verification of the benchmarks (e.g. that they compile and can execute without error) is part of the CI.
# Important Notes
Currently the gate shall fail. The fix is being prepared in parallel PR - #3639. When the two PRs are combined, the gate shall succeed again.
This PR replaces webpack with esbuild, as our bundler.
The change leads to out-of-the-box ~5x improvement in bundling times, reducing the latency in watch-based workflows.
Along with this a new development server (with live reload capacity) has been introduced to support watch command.

### Important Notes
* workflow for checking docs has been removed because it was using outdated prettier version and caused troubles; while the same check is performed in a better way by the GUI/Lint job.
* introduced little more typescript in the scripts in place of js, usually with minimal changes.
This PR adds sources for Enso language support in IGV (and NetBeans). The support is based on TextMate grammar shown in the editor and registration of the Enso language so IGV can find it. Then this PR adds new GitHub Actions workflow file to build the project using Maven.
- Removed `select` method.
- Removed `group` method.
- Removed `Aggregate_Table` type.
- Removed `Order_Rule` type.
- Removed `sort` method from Table.
- Expanded comments on `order_by`.
- Update comment on `aggregate` on Database.
- Update Visualisation to use new APIs.
- Updated Data Science examples to use new APIs.
- Moved Examples test out of Tests to own test.
# Important Notes
Need to get Examples_Tests added to CI.
### Pull Request Description
Using the new tooling (#3491), I investigated the **performance / compile-time tradeoff** of different codegen options for release mode builds. By scripting the testing procedure, I was able to explore many possible combinations of options, which is important because their interactions (on both application performance and build time) are complex. I found **two candidate profiles** that offer specific advantages over the current `release` settings (`baseline`):
- `thin16`: Supports incremental compiles in 1/3 the time of `baseline` in common cases. Application runs about 2% slower than `baseline`.
- `fat1-O4`: Application performs 13% better than `baseline`. Compile time is almost 3x `baseline`, and non-incremental.
(See key in first chart for the settings defining these profiles.)
We can build faster or run faster, though not in the same build. Because the effect sizes are large enough to be impactful to developer and user experience, respectively, I think we should consider having it both ways. We could **split the `release` profile** into two profiles to serve different purposes:
- `release`: A profile that supports fast developer iteration, while offering realistic performance.
- `production`: A maximally-optimized profile, for nightly builds and actual releases.
Since `wasm-pack` doesn't currently support custom profiles (rustwasm/wasm-pack#1111), we can't use a Cargo profile for `production`; however, we can implement our own profile by overriding rustc flags.
### Performance details
As you can see, `thin16` is slightly slower than `baseline`; `fat1-O4` is dramatically faster.

<summary>Methodology (click to show)</summary>
I developed a procedure for benchmarking "whole application" performance, using the new "open project" workflow (which opens the IDE and loads a complex project), and some statistical analysis to account for variance. To gather this data:
Build the application with profiling:
`./run.sh ide build --profiling-level=debug`
Run the `open_project` workflow repeatedly:
`for i in $(seq 0 9); do dist/ide/linux-unpacked/enso --entry-point profile --workflow open_project --save-profile open_project_thin16_${i}.json; done`
For each profile recorded, take the new `total_self_time` output of the `intervals` tool; gather into CSV:
`echo $(for i in $(seq 0 9); do target/rust/debug/intervals < open_project_thin16_${i}.json | tail -n1 | awk '{print $2}'; do`
(Note that the output of intervals should not be considered stable; this command may need modification in the future. Eventually it would be nice to support formatted outputs...)
The data is ready to graph. I used the `boxplot` method of the [seaborn](https://seaborn.pydata.org/index.html) package, in order to show the distribution of data.

#### Build times
In the case of changing a file in `enso-prelude`, with the current `baseline` settings rebuilding takes over 3 minutes. With the `thin16` settings, the same rebuild completes in 40 seconds.
(To gather this data on different hardware or in the future, just run the new `bench-build.sh` script for each case to be measured.)
* The bash entry point was renamed `run.sh` -> `run`. Thanks to that `./run` works both on Linux and Windows with PowerShell (sadly not on CMD).
* Everyone's favorite checks for WASM size and program versions are back. These can be disabled through `--wasm-size-limit=0` and `--skip-version-check` respectively. WASM size limit is stored in `build-config.yaml`.
* Improved diagnostics for case when downloaded CI run artifact archive cannot be extracted.
* Added GH API authentication to the build script calls on CI. This should fix the macOS build failures that were occurring from time to time. (Actually they were due to runner being GitHub-hosted, not really an OS-specific issue by itself.)
* If the GH API Personal Access Token is provided, it will be validated. Later on it is difficult to say, whether fail was caused by wrong PAT or other issue.
* Renamed `clean` to `git-clean` as per suggestion to reduce risk of user accidently deleting unstaged work.
* Whitelisting dependabot from changelog checks, so PRs created by it are mergeable.
* Fixing issue where wasm-pack-action (third party) randomly failed to recognize the latest version of wasm-pack (macOS runners), leading to failed builds.
* Build logs can be filtered using `ENSO_BUILD_LOG` environment variable. See https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.3.11/tracing_subscriber/struct.EnvFilter.html#directives for the supported syntax.
* Improve help for ci-run source, to make clear that PAT token is required and what scope is expected there.
Also, JS parts were updated with some cleanups and fixes following the changes made when introducing the build script.
Before, when running Enso with `-ea`, some assertions were broken and the interpreter would not start.
This PR fixes two very minor bugs that were the cause of this - now we can successfully run Enso with `-ea`, to test that any assertions in Truffle or in our own libraries are indeed satisfied.
Additionally, this PR adds a setting to SBT that ensures that IntelliJ uses the right language level (Java 17) for our projects.
Implements infrastructure for new aggregations in the Database. It comes with only some basic aggregations and limited error-handling. More aggregations and problem handling will be added in subsequent PRs.
# Important Notes
This introduces basic aggregations using our existing codegen and sets-up our testing infrastructure to be able to use the same aggregate tests as in-memory backend for the database backends.
Many aggregations are not yet implemented - they will be added in subsequent tasks.
There are some TODOs left - they will be addressed in the next tasks.
