- starting and stopping Ghost is part of our rather unloved acceptance test framework
- moving them into their own file to make the different pieces clearer and also to start to make improvements
- first improvement had to happen as an aside - exposing the existingData property via a function and making the API clearer
- this was a weird thing set on module.exports, very hidden and hard to follow
- Note: stopGhost is only used once in the regression/modles/model_posts_spec.js file to make the test run fast enough...
- These tests are effectively "DB integration" tests e.g. non-unit tests because they do use the DB, they need their own framework
- Having these as destructured from the same package is hindering refactoring now
- Events should really only ever be used server-side
- i18n should be a shared module for now so it can be used everywhere until we figure out something better
- Having them seperate also allows us to lint them properly

- Export files included a lot of data which was not used in the importer, for example: members, labels, migrations and many more. This lead to a lot of clutter in the import files and made it hard to reason about their purpose.
- The main purpose of exports - is to export importable resources. These are posts, tags, and users. The rest of data like members or migrations either have their own importer (like CSV importer for members) or does not and should not have any ways to be imported.
- These changes are in now way complete. It's a first step towards resource-based exports which could be properly versioned in the future on API level and not be a mirror of the DB structure.
- This is sort of a breaking change. But we are doing it because: (1) its an internal API that should not be used by external clients, (2) there was no public contract to have this API stable at any point, (3) we really need to get back the control over export files structure and size
- In case an external client was dependent on some structure of the exported json file they can still pass in ALL of previously exported data by passing table names in `include` query parameter.
- at the time of writing, the v3 API === canary API
- we have both v3 + canary regression tests, which are nearly the same
but there are slight deviations that we keep missing when adding new
tests
- the canary tests are actually describing functionality of the v3 API
- therefore, we should be ok to delete the v3 regression tests for now
- when v3 is stable, we can copy the canary tests back to v3
* moved `server/config` to `shared/config`
* updated config import paths in server to use shared
* updated config import paths in frontend to use shared
* updated config import paths in test to use shared
* updated config import paths in root to use shared
* trigger regression tests
* of course the rebase broke tests
- move all test files from core/test to test/
- updated all imports and other references
- all code inside of core/ is then application code
- tests are correctly at the root level
- consistent with other repos/projects
