Apparently short_name is not consistently the person's username
in our system -- for many MIT people, it's their full name.

As of this writing, short_name is the part before the @-sign,
and we already display the realm, so no need to display it
twice.

Eventually there should be a database table or something where we can
configure this for each realm.

/?lurk=foo will show all messages to the stream "foo", regardless of
whether you're subscribed.

Right now we mitigate abuse by sending the principal user a Humbug
informing them that they've been subscribed. Longer term, we want
some sort of stream invitation system, instead.

The schema change made this no longer a guarantee, and creating duplicate
PUs is not harmful.

Otherwise one gets:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'time'
when trying to use the time module from inside zephyr.lib.

CasperJS can't handle them; window.webkitNotifications.requestPermission()
throws a type error. We can revisit this when we want to write tests for the
notification code.

This view lives at /accounts/accept_terms, and (after getting an acceptance
from the user) sends an email to all@ documenting the acceptance.

Inspection of the postgres slow queries log showed that the "narrow to
personals with a particular user" database queries were taking a long
time to run (0.5s+). Further investigation determined that the OR
gate construction used here was causing the entire zephyr_message
table to be scanned; primarily I think because we were using the
implicit constraint that the logged in user had received messages.
This change makes that query explicit (improving performance), while
cleaning up the code to avoid an unnecessary query and read a little
more clearly.
After this change, the relevant database query takes 10s of milliseconds.

This essentially reverts d900957e468815bcb99de67d570dfd7ce4413220.
This code was consuming up to 50-100ms per client recipient of a
message, so for any messages that would go to 50+ browser windows /
mobile devices, it would take several seconds to run, during which
time Tornado would be completely blocked.
In the future, we can re-fix #174 using a cache of recently delivered
messages, so that this code block doesn't go to the database and thus
can run instantaneously.
