fix(search-contexts): Fix issue where a repository would not appear in a search context if it was created after the search context was created (#354)
## Problem

If a repository is added **after** a search context (e.g., a new repository is synced from the code host), then it will never be added to the context even if it should be included. The workaround is to restart the instance.

## Solution

This PR adds a call to re-sync all search contexts whenever a connection is successfully synced. This PR adds the `@sourcebot/shared` package that contains `syncSearchContexts.ts` (previously in web) and it's dependencies (namely the entitlements system).

## Why another package?

Because the `syncSearchContexts` call is now called from:
1. `initialize.ts` in **web** - handles syncing search contexts on startup and whenever the config is modified in watch mode. This is the same as before.
2. `connectionManager.ts` in **backend** - syncs the search contexts whenever a connection is successfully synced.

## Follow-up devex work
Two things:
1. We have several very thin shared packages (i.e., `crypto`, `error`, and `logger`) that we can probably fold into this "general" shared package. `schemas` and `db` _feels_ like they should remain separate (mostly because they are "code-gen" packages).
2. When running `yarn dev`, any changes made to the shared package will only get picked if you `ctrl+c` and restart the instance. Would be nice if we have watch mode work across package dependencies in the monorepo.

Deploy Sourcebot

Sourcebot can be deployed in seconds using our official docker image. Visit our docs for more information.

  1. Create a config
touch config.json
echo '{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/main/schemas/v3/index.json",
    "connections": {
        // Comments are supported
        "starter-connection": {
            "type": "github",
            "repos": [
                "sourcebot-dev/sourcebot"
            ]
        }
    }
}' > config.json
  1. Run the docker container
docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --pull=always \
  --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/data \
  -e CONFIG_PATH=/data/config.json \
  --name sourcebot \
  ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest
What does this command do?
  • Pull and run the Sourcebot docker image from ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest.
  • Mount the current directory (-v $(pwd):/data) to allow Sourcebot to persist the .sourcebot cache.
  • Clones sourcebot at HEAD into .sourcebot/github/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot.
  • Indexes sourcebot into a .zoekt index file in .sourcebot/index/.
  • Map port 3000 between your machine and the docker image.
  • Starts the web server on port 3000.

  1. Start searching at http://localhost:3000
