* feat!: replace Abiword with LibreOffice and add DOCX export (#4805)
The Abiword converter is dropped. Abiword's DOCX export is weak and the
project is niche on modern platforms; LibreOffice (soffice) is the
common deployment path and now serves as the sole converter backend.
DOCX is added as an export format and becomes the new target for the
"Microsoft Word" UI button. The /export/doc URL still works for legacy
API consumers.
BREAKING CHANGE: The 'abiword' setting, the INSTALL_ABIWORD Dockerfile
build arg, the abiwordAvailable clientVar, and the
#importmessageabiword UI element (with locale key
pad.importExport.abiword.innerHTML) are removed. Deployments relying on
Abiword must configure 'soffice' instead.

* feat: add docxExport feature flag and abiword deprecation WARN
- Add `docxExport: true` setting to opt out of DOCX (use legacy DOC)
- Pass `docxExport` to client via clientVars
- Use `docxExport` flag in pad_impexp.ts for Word button format
- Emit a specific WARN when deprecated `abiword` config is detected
- Update settings.json.template and settings.json.docker with docxExport
- Add docxExport to ClientVarPayload type in SocketIOMessage.ts

* fix: restore import-limitation message when no converter is configured
The abiword removal dropped both the #importmessageabiword DOM element
and its locale key, but Copilot's refactor still expected the show()
call to surface a message when exportAvailable === 'no'. Result: users
with no soffice binary got silent failure instead of an explanation.
Add #importmessagenoconverter back with updated, LibreOffice-focused
copy (new locale key pad.importExport.noConverter.innerHTML) and flip
the hidden prop when the client knows no converter is available.

* i18n: inline English fallback for noConverter import message
The original abiword message existed in ~70 locale files and was
removed from all of them by this PR. The replacement key was only
added to en.json, so non-English users had an empty div until
translators localize. Follow the project's usual pad.html pattern
(e.g. line 146's "Font type:") and include the English text inside
the div as the fallback content; html10n replaces it when a
translation is available.

* Revert "i18n: inline English fallback for noConverter import message"
This reverts commit f336f24d. Follow the project convention: add the
new locale key to en.json only and let translations catch up via the
translation system, rather than putting inline fallback in the template.
* i18n: leave non-English locale files untouched
The PR had removed pad.importExport.abiword.innerHTML from ~82 locale
files alongside its removal from en.json. The replacement message uses
a new key (pad.importExport.noConverter.innerHTML) in en.json only, so
churning every localisation file for a key that is no longer referenced
produces useless translation diffs. Restore every non-en locale file to
its pre-PR state.

* fix: increase max socket.io message size to 10MB for large pastes
The default maxHttpBufferSize of 50KB caused socket.io to drop
connections when pasting >10,000 characters. Increased to 10MB which
safely accommodates large paste operations.
Fixes#4951

* chore: reduce default maxHttpBufferSize to 1MB
10MB was too generous and creates a DoS vector. 1MB (socket.io's own
default) is sufficient for large pastes while limiting memory abuse.

79406051fa66 added support for including an escaped "\n" in the default value of
an interpolated setting, but the example in `settings.json.template` and
`settings.json.docker` contained a slight syntax error. This fixes it.
No functional changes.

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.

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).
This is a departure from previous versions, which did not limit import/export
requests. Now such requests are ALWAYS rate limited. The default is 10 requests
per IP each 90 seconds, and also applies to old instances upgraded to 1.8.3.
Administrators can tune the parameters via settings.importExportRateLimiting.
From Etherpad 1.8.3 onwards, the maximum allowed size for a single imported
file will always be bounded.
The maximum allowed size can be configured via importMaxFileSize.
