These options are used as strings, so it doesn't make sense to default
them to a boolean value.
Note that this change has no effect due to a bug in how pad options
are processed; that bug will be fixed in a future commit.
It doesn't make sense to override the browser's language with `en-gb`
by default.

This MR introduces a docker build variable `INSTALL_ABIWORD`. When set
to any value other than `0`, ABIWORD is installed in the resulting
docker container, enabling the possibility to configure ABIWORD in
settings.json.docker or via ENV VAR `ABIWORD` for exporting to
DOC/PDF/ODT.
Documentation is included inline and in the docker markdown file.
The settings commitRateLimiting.duration and commitRateLimiting.points
were not available in the settings.json.docker file, and therefore it
was not possible to override their values via environment variables.
Now, they can be overridden by setting the following env vars:
* commitRateLimiting.duration: COMMIT_RATE_LIMIT_DURATION
* commitRateLimiting.points: COMMIT_RATE_LIMIT_POINTS
This will be a breaking change for some people.
We removed all internal password control logic. If this affects you, you have two options:
1. Use a plugin for authentication and use session based pad access (recommended).
1. Use a plugin for password setting.
The reasoning for removing this feature is to reduce the overall security footprint of Etherpad. It is unnecessary and cumbersome to keep this feature and with the thousands of available authentication methods available in the world our focus should be on supporting those and allowing more granual access based on their implementations (instead of half assed baking our own).
In this way, we also gain an explicit place for the default setting (still not
filled in).
No functional changes.
This is in preparation of a future commit by Paul Tiedke.
The mechanism used for determining if the application is being served over SSL
is wrapped by the "express-session" library for "express_sid", and manual for
the "language" cookie, but it's very similar in both cases.
The "secure" flag is set if one of these is true:
1. we are directly serving Etherpad over SSL using the native nodejs
functionality, via the "ssl" options in settings.json
2. Etherpad is being served in plaintext by nodejs, but we are using a reverse
proxy for terminating the SSL for us;
In this case, the user has to be instructed to properly set trustProxy: true
in settings.json, and the information wheter the application is over SSL or
not will be extracted from the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header.
Please note that this will not be compatible with applications being served over
http and https at the same time.
The change on webaccess.js amends 009b61b338, which did not work when the SSL
termination was performed by a reverse proxy.

With this change, the Dockerfile builds the Docker image from the code
checked out in the local filesystem, instead of downloading a revision
from git.
Implements #3657
