Prior to this change, we setup our feed variant query to have a cached
randomization seed. For a given user this seed is cached for 15
minutes. The goal of this is to provide mostly consistent sort orders
on the feed articles during that 15 minute window.
With this change, we allow for a feed variant to say ignore the cached
seed and generate a new one for this call.
I have also added explicit settings to each of the feed variants to
reflect our desired intentions for those features.

Prior to this commit, we were always using a new random number for a
query. With this commit we cache the randomized seed; which allows us
to have "a repeatable random" experience within a windo of time.
Closesforem/forem#17826
The commit includes three changes that work to allow us to "seed" the
randomization. When using the same seed, and randomizer should/must
return the same sequence of numbers.
First, I added the "seed" parameter to the variant query. If you want
the same sequence of random numbers from query to query, pass the same
seed. Otherwise, we'll use a Ruby generated random seed.
Second, I added a virtual column to the virtual `article_relevancies`
table. If you provide a seed, and call the query twice, the first row
in each of `article_relevancies` will have the same `randomized_value`,
likewise the second row, etc.
Third, I amended the existing `order_by_lever` that had a `RANDOM()`
postgresql function call. I replaced that with the `randomized_value`
which is computed based on the provided seed.
Fundamentally the idea is to allow for randomness but introduce possible
repeatability; a hard thing considering that some of the inner selection
criteria is not fixed (e.g. number of reactions can change from moment
to moment).
I wrote a [complimentary blog post][1] to further explain what's
happening.

* Adding more context to `/admin/abtests`
Prior to this commit, the `/admin/abtests` was fully rendered by the
field_test gem (see
https://github.com/ankane/field_test/blob/master/app/views/field_test/experiments/index.html.erb
and
https://github.com/ankane/field_test/blob/master/app/views/field_test/experiments/show.html.erb).
With this commit, we're pre-pending our own
partial (e.g. `app/views/field_test/experiments/_experiments.html.erb`)
in the view paths; which means instead of rendering
https://github.com/ankane/field_test/blob/master/app/views/field_test/experiments/_experiments.html.erb
we render our newly created
`app/views/field_test/experiments/_experiments.html.erb`)
Why the ugly antics in the view? As I'm not fully certain if this will
"meet" the full needs of those monitoring the experiments. I'm also
constructing this to most closely match the spreadsheet that has been
assembled for tracking this information.
Why introduce another caching layer for the variant assembly? The
original caching
layer (e.g. `Articles::Feeds::VariantAssembler.pre_assembled_variants`)
is in place to provide the quickest access to the assembled variants.
But due to the nature of the implemented view, we are needing a
programmatic representation of all variants. And the added Rails cache
is there to minimize disk reads.

Prior to this commit, the SQL fragments included variables that were set
configured at a global level.
With this commit, we're now saying that each lever "knows" what variable
it needs; and providing the means at lever declaration time to "say"
what those variable names are. (e.g. `Articles::Feeds::LEVER_CATALOG`).
Then as part of the variant configuration (in the
`./config/feed-variants/*.json` files) we now include the expected value
of those parameters; which by convention (and coercion) are integers.
This relates to forem/forem#17584 because we want to move from a
privileged user reaction that has two values (`negative` and `positive`)
into four values (`very_negative`, `negative`, `positive`, and
`very_positive`). To do that, we'll create a new lever; but that's for
another pull request.
This commit does three things:
1. Breaks the inheritance of the VariantQuery.
2. Revisits the in-line documentation to better reflect current state.
3. Removes branching logic that we don't need.
My goal is to have a VariantQuery that is what we need, conforms to the
method interface of WeightedQueryStrategy but does not rely on it.
After we merge this, we can observe if things break on DEV and fallback
to WeightedQueryStrategy if this doesn't work. Once the
`Articles::Feeds::VariantQuery` has fledged on it's own, we can remove
the feature flag and then finally remove the weighted query strategy.
But that's the future steps.

* Allowing VariantQuery for Feed Generation
Apologies for the breadth of this pull request, I had considered many
small commits, but felt that would've been more effort for the value
provided.
This commit includes the following:
- Documentation updates to the feed variant (though not the final pass)
- Renaming and adding RelevancyLevers that help differentiate
- Adding RelevancyLever#range to provide documentation
- Reducing redundent controller logic by making a
`Articles::Feeds.feed_for` method.
- Adding some configuration validation for RelevancyLevers
- Adding constants for better clarification
- Testing unhappy paths for feed configuration
- Adjusting the module namespace of some objects
- Exposing top-level configurations for variants (along with their
defaults)
- Creating the VariantyQuery that at present inherits from the
`Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy`
As implemented, we can deploy this code to production without using the
new VariantQuery. Once we toggle on the
`:feed_uses_variant_query_feature` FeatureFlag, it will switch to using
the VariantQuery. The VariantQuery's two variants and the
internal configuration of `Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy`
produce the same query.
The goal of this factor is to allow for a quick on and off toggle of the
feed query; to ensure that what we introduce remains performant.

In addition, I will be recording a code-walkthrough and linking that
recording to the pull request.
