Make HISTORY_READ_LIMIT configurable

Nice idea

We need to get rid of that define() anyway.

   s/config/Drupal::config, see #1957142: Replace config() with Drupal::config()

Talked with Crell, Drupal::config is not ok when we're in a namespace. Switched over in the .module file, trying to use the dependency injection for the views plugins.

However, this patch fails locally with "Declaration of Drupal\history\Plugin\views\field\HistoryUserTimestamp::create() must be compatible with that of Drupal\Core\Plugin\ContainerFactoryPluginInterface::create()". Not sure how it's incompatible though, they look pretty identical to me.

Hopefully someone else can run with it or let me know what's wrong. Still need to provide a schema for the config settings as well.

I disabled currently only the cron job, because we want not to delete the information when user has read the node.
Patch works on 8.5.x

We should it make configurable via GUI in admin/config/content/history or similar.
If is that a need, it make sense to "redesign" the module so that the above can be configured.

If there's a patch to review, status should be "Needs review".

The patch is only a fix for those which doesn't want delete the history after 30day. "Make HISTORY_READ_LIMIT configurable" is not solved with that patch above

Ah, I understand, thanks. Should still be "needs work" then.

for patch #6

Rerolled for 8.6.x, also, i've checked other modules and services, changed there as well

   Same here.
   Though on second thoughts, this calculation is repeated at least twice. Could it be moved to a helper method getHistoryReadLimist() on a service somewhere?

Fix nits, btw it needs upgrade path tests (config could change in future so this upgrade should add only "read-mark" one)

Mean time it sounds like great candidate to foundation of history.repository service #2081585: [META] Modernize the History module

No reason to prefix config property as it already namespaced

Also it exposed issues in node and comment modules integration (no dependency on history one)

So it needs proper integration a-la
- is service history.repository exists and fall back to old default
- if exists call its method

PS: I think there's no reason to provide UI for this setting so it could be container parameter instead of config, so in rare cases when it needs override it will be overridable with settings.php or services.yml

Seems like good idea. So if I got it right, we need to postpone current issue, re-roll #2081585: [META] Modernize the History module and then move HISTORY_READ_LIMIT to history.repository as container parameter.

   We cannot just remove this constant. It need to be properly deprecated first.

3. Update test for the new config setting "mark_read"

The History Module was approved for removal in #3336276: [Policy] Deprecate History module.

This is Postponed. The status is set according to two policies. The Remove a core extension and move it to a contributed project and the Extensions approved for removal policies.

The deprecation work is in #3520462: [meta] Tasks to deprecate the History module and the removal work in #3520468: [meta] Tasks to remove History module.

History will be moved to a contributed project after the Drupal 12.x branch is open.

Replaced COMMENT_NEW_LIMIT with HISTORY_READ_LIMIT as this constant unused by core for #3574661: Remove deprecated code from comments module
