We don't really support running without canvas access, we need it for image
manipulation. The firefox feature seems poorly implemented -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429865 - and if someone _really_
wishes to not add an exclusion for our open source web app, then they can
download our desktop app.
The methods are trivial, and we cannot centralize the keys since they will be
different for different apps. So an abstraction for this is not beneficial.
Also move the next specific dev build check to @/next
This was found useful by @Bramas when building a Dockerfile of the web app
itself. See https://github.com/ente-io/ente/pull/1065.
Now, the GIT_SHA environment variable can just be undefined if we're not in a
git repository, and the code using it deals with that case explicitly.
**Tested by**
Temporarily inverted the isDevBuild flag, tehn
1. Ran the build normally and verified that the SHA continued to appear in the logs.
2. Ran the build after copying to a standalone folder without an associated git
repository and verified that the SHA was skipped without causing the build to
fail.
Sentry has a measurable impact on page load, a metric that I'm keen to
improve. Apparently by default it loses us 8-9 page speed points, though that
can be reduced to 3-4
(https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/9179).
All of this is doable, but there are bigger tasks to deal with. This is not to
say that Sentry won't be useful again at some point, when we have time to deal
with it better. But right now, we discussed that it's just better to remove
Sentry instead of piling on to the sunk cost.
