Document `check-result-expanded` plugin endpoint

In the Check UI, a CheckResult can optionally have a `message` which is
raw unformatted text. A summary is displayed and when the result row is
clicked, it is expanded and the full message is shown.

I8dc5befc6a8fe4297709988b36ba489de5065b7b add `check-result-expanded`
endpoint to the expanded component. That lets one add a Web Component
with rich formatting. This was done for Chromium buildbucket plugin back
in early 2021 and released in Gerrit 3.4.0, it was however left
undocumented.

Document the plugin end point. The code pass two parameters `result` and
`run` which are set to be the `result`, I think it is a mistake in the
original code which probably wanted to also pass the run, short of
fixing the issue, document the `run` parameter is the same as the
`result` one.

I found out about the expanded results via the TypeScript API
documentation. Remove the TBD comment about making CheckResults.message
to support richer formatting and hint about using that endpoint which,
as far as I am concerned, fulfill my need to beautify a check result.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status Maven Central

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 8 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8

To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
