Setup authentication schema and user relation
User authentication is based on PostgREST’s[0]: There is a noninherit
role, authenticator, whose function is only to switch to a different
role according to the application’s session. Accordingly, this role has
no permission for anything.
The roles that this authentication can switch to are guest, invoicer, or
admin. Guest is for anonymous users, when they need to login or
register; invoicers are regular users; and admin are application’s
administrators, that can change other user’s status, when they have to
be removed or have they password changed, for example.
The user relation is actually inaccessible to all roles and can only be
used through a security definer function, login, so that passwords are
not accessible from the application.
I hesitated on what to use as the user’s primary key. The email seemed
a good candiate, because it will be used for login. But something rubs
me the wrong way.
It is not that they can change because, despite what people on the
Internet keeps parroting, they do not need to be “immutable”, PostgreSQL
can cascade updates to foreign keys, and people do **not** change email
addresses that ofter.
What i **do** know is that email addresses should be unique in order to
be used for login and password, hovewer i had to decide what “unique”
means here, because the domain part is case insensitive, but the local
part who knows? I made the arbitrary decision of assuming that the
whole address is case sensitive.
I have the feeling that this will bite me harder in the ass than using
it as the primary key.

Add a function to set request settings and the role
I did not like the idea that it was the Go server who should set values
such as request.user or set the role, because this is mostly something
that only the database wants for itself, such as when calling logout. I
am also planning to use these setings for row security with the user’s
id, that the Go application has no need for, but with the current
approach i would need to return it from check_cookie so that it can
return it back to the database when acquiring the connection.
I would have used the same function to set the settings and the role,
but security definer functions—obviously in retrospect—can not set the
role, because then could switch to any role of the user that defined the
function, not the roles they are member of. Thus, a new function.
I did not want to do that every time i needed the database connection
within the same request, because it would perform the same operations
each time—it is the same cookie, afterall—, so new connections are
request scoped and passed along in the context.

Add user_profile view to update the profile with form
Since users do not have access to the auth scheme, i had to add a view
that selects only the data that they can see of themselves (i.e., no
password or cookie).
I wanted to use the `request.user.id` setting that i set in
check_cookie, but this would be bad because anyone can change that
parameter and, since the view is created by the owner, could see and
*change* the values of everyone just by knowing their id. Thus, now i
use the cookie instead, because it is way harder to figure out, and if
you already have it you can just set to your browser and the user is
fucked anyway; the database can not help here.
I **am** going to use the user id in row level security policies, but
not the value coming for the setting but instaed the one in the
`user_profile`, since it already is “derived” from the cookie, that’s
why i added that column to the view.
The profile includes the language, that i do not use it yet to switch
the locale, so i had to add a relation of the available languages, for
constraint purposes. There is no NULL language, and instead i added the
“Undefined” language, with ‘und’ tag’, to represent “do not know/use
content negotiation”.
The languages in that relation are the same i used to have inside
locale.go, because there is no point on having options for languages i
do not have the translation for, so i now configure the list of
available languages user in content negotiation from that relation.
Finally, i have added all font from RemixIcon because that’s what we
used in the design and i am going to use quite a lot of them.
There is duplication in the views; i will address that in a different
commit.

Add the company relation and read-only form to edit
I do not have more time to update the update to the company today, but i
believe this is already a good amount of work for a commit.
The company is going to be used for row level security, as users will
only have access to the data from companies they are granted access, by
virtue of being in the company_user relation.
I did not know how add a row level security policy to the company_user
because i needed the to select on the same relation and this is not
allowed, because it would create an infinite loop.
Had to add the vat, pg_libphonenumber, and uri extensions in order to
validate VAT identification numbers, phone numbers, and URIs,
repectively. These libraries are not in Debian, but i created packages

Convert from cents to “price” and back
I do not want to use floats in the Go lang application, because it is
not supposed to do anything with these values other than to print and
retrieve them from the user; all computations will be performed by
PostgreSQL in cents.
That means i have to “convert” from the price format that users expect
to see (e.g., 1.234,56) to cents (e.g., 123456) and back when passing
data between Go and PostgreSQL, and that conversion depends on the
currency’s decimal places.
At first i did everything in Go, but saw that i would need to do it in
a loop when retrieving the list of products, and immediately knew it was
a mistake—i needed a PL/pgSQL function for that.
I still need to convert from string to float, however, when printing the
value to the user. Because the string representation is in C, but i
need to format it according to the locale with golang/x/text. That
package has the information of how to correctly format numbers, but it
is in an internal package that i can not use, and numbers.Digit only
accepts numeric types, not a string.
