We need this so that we can safely expunge old events without interfering with
the running server. See #414.

Before this is deployed, we need to install rabbitmq and pika on the
target server (see the puppet part of this commit for how).
When this is deployed, we need to start the new user activity bot:
./manage.py process_user_activity
in the screen session on the relevant server, or user_activity logs
won't be processed (which will eventually result in all users getting
notifications about how their mirrors are out of date).

Previously it wouldn't work due to using the wrong port numbers.
This commit also has the side effect of fixing the fact that our
frontend tests would send real emails and log events to the real
message log.

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.
