The test-backend parallel test runner system doesn't actually use the
zulip_test database; instead, it creates its own databases off the
zulip_test_template database.
We were accidentally running `tools/generate_fixtures` even when there
are no changes, because this function is shared with the
tools/lib/test_server.py codebase, which needs us to do the work of
creating a test database for it off the zulip_test_template database.
Fixing this saves about 1.5s / 4s of the runtime of a single test.
It was discovered that the '.eslintcache' file was causing eslint to
throw a TypeError after a recent update/addition to the dependencies.
It makes sense to remove this file as part of the provisioning process
to avoid such exceptions.
activate_this.py has always documented that it should be exec()ed with
locals = globals, and in virtualenv 16.0.0 it raises a NameError
otherwise.
As a simplified demonstration of the weird things that can go wrong
when locals ≠ globals:
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a])', {}, {})
[1]
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a for b in [1]])', {}, {})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1, in <listcomp>
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a for b in [1]])', {})
[1]
Top-level assignments go into locals, but from inside a new scope like
a list comprehension, they’re read out of globals, which doesn’t work.

This generalizes the provision logic for deciding whether to build our
tsearch_extras and pgroonga search extensions from source to support
Ubuntu cosmic as well (and evenutally, other future platforms).
Accomplished by adding a function to clear the status message with
an empty string. The html is then updated to reflect changes without a
refresh.
Currently, it's a small hassle to clear a status message. This option
makes things a bit easier.
Fixes#11630.
Commit 7d12e2019d (#10994) broke fresh
provisions by importing zproject.settings before we were done
modifying settings. Fix it by moving the generate_secrets invocation
to the earliest reasonable place.

Instead, manually activate it in the one place where this
functionality was used (tools/lib/provision.py). This way we avoid
trying to activate the Python 2 thumbor virtualenv from Python 3.

Otherwise this causes an error
```
AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
```
on 3.7. While the error is specific to 3.7, it is safer to uninstall
typing for all the versions that don't require a pip-provided typing
library.
