refactor: grandfather apps installed before 7.0.0 while handling license downgrades

[ricardogarim]

Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

Previously, when a workspace downgraded from a trial or paid license to the community edition, all installed apps (both marketplace and private apps) remained enabled, regardless of the workspace’s new limitations. This led to workspaces retaining premium features beyond what was intended.

Marketplace Apps:

• If the workspace has more than 5 marketplace apps, only the oldest 5 will remain enabled.
• If the workspace has any premium marketplace apps, they will be disabled.

Private Apps:

• Private apps that do not match the grandfathering condition will be disabled.
• The grandfathering condition checks:
  • If the workspace was previously running a <7 version.
  • If the app was installed before upgrading to version 7.

Issue(s)

• CORE-745

Steps to test or reproduce

Marketplace Apps

• Create a workspace and activate a trial license.
• Install multiple apps from the Marketplace, including both normal and premium apps.
• Navigate to Settings > Subscription and cancel the trial or subscription.
• Go to the Apps listing and verify:
  • Any marketplace app exceeding the 5-app limit is disabled (only the oldest 5 remain enabled).
  • All premium marketplace apps are disabled.

Private Apps

• Create a workspace and activate a trial license.
• Install a private app.
• Navigate to Settings > Subscription and cancel the trial or subscription.
• Go to the Apps listing and confirm the private app has been disabled.

Grandfathered Private Apps

• Create a workspace and activate a trial license.
• Install a private app and ensure it is successfully installed.
• In the database:
  • Duplicate a document from the rocketchat_statistics collection.
  • Change the version field to a pre-7 version (e.g., 6.9.0).
  • Update the installedDate to a date before the upgrade to version 7.
• In the installed apps database (rocketchat_apps collection):
  • Modify the createdDate field to a date that aligns with the pre-7 installation date.
• Navigate to Settings > Subscription and cancel the trial or subscription.
• Go to the Apps listing and verify that the private app remains enabled (grandfathered condition is met).

Further comments

It's a bit tricky to enforce the grandfathering condition reliably. After discussing with the team, we identified a potential approach: checking app statistics. If any recorded statistics indicate usage from a pre-7 version, we can infer that the workspace previously ran that version, allowing us to determine eligibility for grandfathering.
