This is mostly important in that if you're running this as part of a
follow-up to a failed upgrade, and you don't do this,
process-fts-updates will be left not running, resulting in full-text
search not updating.
This commits adds the necessary puppet configuration and
installer/upgrade code for installing and managing the thumbor service
in production. This configuration is gated by the 'thumbor.pp'
manifest being enabled (which is not yet the default), and so this
commit should have no effect in a default Zulip production environment
(or in the long term, in any Zulip production server that isn't using
thumbor).
Credit for this effort is shared by @TigorC (who initiated the work on
this project), @joshland (who did a great deal of work on this and got
it working during PyCon 2017) and @adnrs96, who completed the work.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
The manual step here is that we need to do the `puppet apply` before
pushing this commit, or `restart-server` will crash.
Previously we shut down everything in one group, which performed
poorly with supervisor's bad performance on restarting many daemons at
once. Now we shut down the unimportant stuff, then the important
stuff, bring back the important stuff, and then bring back the
unimportant stuff.
This new model has a little over 5s of downtime for the core
user-facing daemons -- which is still far more than would be ideal,
but a lot less than the 13s or so that we had before.
Here's some logs with the current setup for the tornado/django downtime:
2013-12-19 20:16:51,995 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:53,461 restart-server: Starting daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:57,146 restart-server: Starting workers
Compare with the behavior on master today:
2013-12-19 20:21:45,281 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:21:49,225 restart-server: Starting daemons
2013-12-19 20:21:58,463 restart-server: Done!

This reverts commit acef4c0027b77053497ef6e9f7aa4b61703205c3.
Despite the lower total downtime, this caused more user-facing downtime.

This shaves about 1.5 seconds off our restart time on ls-dev (9s ->
7.5s). Still too slow, but it's a little bit better.

Their new names are their old names with 'humbug-' removed.
zulip-puppet-apply must be run before this commit is deployed
