3.4.1 dropped account_stats.lock_version, but in a way breaking the usual
upgrade path by requiring services to be reloaded after the post-migrations.
Indeed, `self.locking_column = nil` was not enough for Rails to ignore the
`lock_version` column when preparing statements on application load, resulting
in some ActiveRecord queries (typically those involving
`includes(:account_stat)`) erroring out with:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::UndefinedColumn: ERROR: column account_stats.lock_version does not exist
* Fix account deletion sometimes failing because of optimistic locks
In some rare occasions[1], deleting accounts would fail with a
`StaleObjectError` exception.
Indeed, account deletion manually sets the `AccountStat` values without
handling cases where the optimistic locking on `AccountStat` would fail.
To my knowledge, with the rewrite of account counters in #15913, the
`DeleteAccountService` is now the only place that changes the counters in
a way that is not atomic.
Since in this specific case, we do not care about the previous values of the
account counters, it appears we don't need locking at all for this table
anymore.

* Bump MAX_SUPPORTED_VERSION in maintenance script
* Improve account counters handling
* Use ActiveRecord::Base::sanitize_sql to pass values instead of interpolating them
Keep using string interpolation for `key` as it is safe and using
“ActiveRecord::Base::sanitize_sql_hash_for_assignment” would require stitching
bits of SQL in a way that is not more easily checked for safety.
* Add migration hook to catch PostgreSQL versions earlier than 9.5
It's possible that after commit callbacks were not firing when
exceptions occurred in the process. Also, the default Sidekiq
strategy does not push indexing jobs immediately, which is not
necessary and could be part of the issue too.
* Add more accurate account search
When ElasticSearch is available, a more accurate search is implemented:
- Using edge n-gram index for acct and display name
- Using asciifolding and cjk width normalization on display names
- Using Gaussian decay on account activity for additional scoring (recency)
- Using followers/friends ratio for additional scoring (spamminess)
- Using followers number for additional scoring (size)
The exact match precedence only takes effect when the input conforms
to the username format and the username part of it is complete, i.e.
when the user started typing the domain part.
* Support single-letter usernames
* Fix tests
* Fix not picking up account updates
* Add weights and normalization for scores, skip zero terms queries
* Use local counts for accounts index, adjust search parameters
* Fix mistakes
* Using updated_at of accounts is inadequate for remote accounts
