This changes the way item types, item fields, creator types, and CSL
mappings are defined and handled, in preparation for updated types and
fields.
Instead of being predefined in SQL files or code, type/field info is
read from a bundled JSON file shared with other parts of the Zotero
ecosystem [1], referred to as the "global schema". Updates to the
bundled schema file are automatically applied to the database at first
run, allowing changes to be made consistently across apps.
When syncing, invalid JSON properties are now rejected instead of being
ignored and processed later, which will allow for schema changes to be
made without causing problems in existing clients. We considered many
alternative approaches, but this approach is by far the simplest,
safest, and most transparent to the user.
For now, there are no actual changes to types and fields, since we'll
first need to do a sync cut-off for earlier versions that don't reject
invalid properties.
For third-party code, the main change is that type and field IDs should
no longer be hard-coded, since they may not be consistent in new
installs. For example, code should use `Zotero.ItemTypes.getID('note')`
instead of hard-coding `1`.

Separate flags for hiding the retraction altogether and for hiding
citation warnings for it
New functions:
Zotero.Retractions.hideRetraction(item)
Zotero.Retractions.shouldShowCitationWarning(item)
Zotero.Retractions.disableCitationWarningsForItem(item)
Addresses #1710
This shouldn't be possible, but there've been a couple reports of people
ending up on version 103 without the table, so create it again with IF
NOT EXISTS. This is obviously a bad fix, but until we know how this
happened it's the best we can do.
- Check for retracted items using data from Retraction Watch
- Show an X next to retracted items in the items list, and show a
scary message at the top of the item pane with more info and links.
- Lookup is done in a privacy-preserving manner using k-anonymity --
the server is unable to determine the specific items that exist in
the client, so people who don't sync don't need to share any library
data (though the server doesn't log the lookups anyway).
TODO:
- Pop up an alert when new items are found
- Show a confirmation prompt when citing a retracted item
- Support items without DOIs or PMIDs
- Add a proper PMID field and expand DOI to more item types so these
values don't need to be parsed out of Extra
- Clear the banner immediately when all possible fields are cleared
instead of waiting a few seconds
This adds "English (UK)" to the locale list, which allows for "tag
colours" and allows dates to be recognized in d/m/y form.
I changed "color" and "license" on Transifex, but I'll leave other words
for others to change. If we stick to Oxford spelling, there probably
won't be too much else.
A submitted database had a text userID with a trailing "A0. Not sure how
that happened -- it doesn't appear to be possible in current code -- but
it caused group permissions not to be properly synced.
If somebody switched accounts in a previous version, it was apparently
possible for related items to end up pointing at an item URI with the
old userID, which could cause a 403 on sync.

(5.0 deletes data when switching accounts to avoid exactly this sort of
bug.)
