Fix child collection bindings in RestApiServlet and add tests

The Gerrit Plugin injector and the RestApiServlet currently have
different bugs. This commit papers over the most pressing ones and adds
tests so that plugins can bind child collections and offer modifications
directly on the collections (e.g. postOnCollection).

When binding rest views from plugins, the plugin name is incorrectly set
to "gerrit" which is what we use for core Gerrit views. This does not
apply to collections though. These are bound with the correct plugin
name "plugin-name".

In RestApiServlet, this leads to a situation where the collection thinks
it belongs to a different part of Gerrit. For operations that modify the
collection (post, delete) this means we have to use "gerrit" as the
component name when looking up child views. For root collections, we
already do this and this is why it works for existing plugin root
collections. For subcollections, however, we did not - which is what
this commit changes. Now the two usages in RestApiServlet are
consistent.

To be clear: They are now consistently wrong across the different parts
of Gerrit, but they are consistent which means they work.

As future work, we want to fix this long standing issue by binding the
correct plugin names from the beginning. This is non-trivial though
because the DynamicMapProvider has no context on the plugin that is
performing the binding.

This commit adds the same logic that we have for core-collection
delegation to plugin-collections in RestApiServlet.

Gerrit Code Review

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

Build Status

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 IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

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 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

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