When restoring a backup, discourse decompresses the backup archive in
the /share/discourse/tmp dir. Before this change, it is linked to /run
which is typically backed by memory, so the backup will fail to
restore if you do not have enough memory on your system to contain the
backup. This has already happened to me on two small forums.
This moves tmp to the StateDirectory /var/lib/discourse/tmp which is
typically backed by disk.

As documented in the Nix expression, I unfortunately had to patch
`yarn.lock` manually (the `yarn.nix` result isn't affected by this). By
adding a `git+https`-prefix to
`midi "https://github.com/paulrosen/MIDI.js.git#abcjs"` in the lock-file
I ensured that `yarn` actually uses the `MIDI.js` from the offline-cache
from `yarn2nix` rather than trying to download a tarball from GitHub.
Also, this release contains a fix for CVE-2021-39175 which doesn't seem
to be backported to 1.8. To quote NVD[1]:
> In versions prior to 1.9.0, an unauthenticated attacker can inject
> arbitrary JavaScript into the speaker-notes of the slide-mode feature
> by embedding an iframe hosting the malicious code into the slides or by
> embedding the HedgeDoc instance into another page.
Even though it "only" has a medium rating by NVD (6.1), this seems
rather problematic to me (also, GitHub rates this as "High"), so it's
actually a candidate for a backport.

Some plugin repos already have a `gems` directory. This lets the
packager choose whether it should be kept and the nix packaged ruby
gems should be copied into it or if it should be removed in favor of
our ruby gems.
Let the update.py script handle the initial, repetitive task of
packaging new plugins. With this in place, the plugin only needs to be
added to the list in `update-plugins` and most of the work will be
done automatically when the script is run. Metadata still needs to be
filled in manually and some packages may of course require additional
work/patching.
Perform the tests on the package that the `tests` attribute is a child
of, i.e. if `discourseAllPlugins.tests` is built, the tests will run
with the `discourseAllPlugins` package, not the `discourse` package as
previously.
