Previously, the generate-fixtures shell script by called into Django
multiple times in order to check whether the database was in a
reasonable state. Since there's a lot of overhead to starting up
Django, this resulted in `test-backend` and `test-js-with-casper`
being quite slow to run a single small test (2.8s or so) even on my
very fast laptop.
We fix this is by moving the checks into a new Python library, so that
we can avoid paying the Django startup overhead 3 times unnecessarily.
The result saves about 1.2s (~40%) from the time required to run a
single backend test.
Fixes#1221.
NVM takes a specific node version and installs the node package and
a corresponding compatible npm package.
We use it in a somewhat hackish way to install node/npm globally with
a pinned version, since that's how we actually want to consume node in
our development environment.
Other details:
- Travis CI now is configured to use the version of node installed by
provision; the easiest way to do this was to sabotage the existing node
installation.
- jsdom is upgraded to a current version, which both requires recent
node and also is required for the tests to pass with recent node.
This fixes running the node tests on Xenial.
Fixes#1498.

I don't think the black/white fallback code is actually used by
default, and thus when it is used, it's usually a sign that something
is broken. We should throw an error, but at the very least it makes
sense to print a warning.
In d583710f7c, I apparently broke the
color emoji handling, which was masked (for test purposes) by the fact
that we catch an expection if color doesn't work and in that case fall
back to black and white emoji.
This adds support for using PGroonga to back the Zulip full-text
search feature. Because built-in PostgreSQL full text search doesn't
support languages that don't put space between terms such as Japanese,
Chinese and so on. PGroonga supports all languages including Japanese
and Chinese.
Developers will need to re-provision when rebasing past this patch for
the tests to pass, since provision is what installs the PGroonga
package and extension.
PGroonga is enabled by default in development but not in production;
the hope is that after the PGroonga support is tested further, we can
enable it by default.
Fixes#615.

When running ./tools/test-backend, the script to generate
fixtures, ./tools/setup/generate-fixtures, looks for a file
called migration-status to determine whether it can short
circuit doing database migrations. This file got moved as
part of the effort to put files in "var," but the existence
check was still looking for that file in its old location.
Factor out the code in tools/provision.py which installs a python2
and python3 venv into a module (tools/setup/setup_venvs.py) which
can also be used as a script.
