At present, we only do a few simple checks on the client type inside
the event system, and this saves database/memcached queries.
Note that this preserves the structure of the marshalled name in
to_dict/from_dict as client_type to avoid an unnecessary migration.
This commit is somewhat ugly, but its purpose is to be early
preparation for splitting Tornado into a queue server and a frontend
server, and this code belongs, by and large, in the queue server
component.
All usages of json_to_dict were replaced with the check_dict
validator. The check_dict validations can eventually be
extended to validate the keys and values of incoming data,
but now we just use check_dict([]) in all the places where
we had json_to_dict, which means we aren't checking for any
specific keys; we are just making sure it's a dictionary.

This will allow us to substantially decrease the server-side work that
we do to support our Mirroring systems (since the personal mirrors can
request only messages that user sent) and also is what we need to
support a single-stream Zulip widget that we embed in webpages.

This requires a puppet apply on each of staging and prod0 to update
the nginx configuration to support the new URL when it is deployed.

This logging is kinda excessive since it adds like 4 log lines per
recipient, so I expect we'll end up reverting it once we've debugged
the proximal issue.

It makes the event queue return all messages on public streams, rather
than only the user's subscriptions. It's meant for use with chat bots.

This needs to be deployed to both staging and prod at the same
off-peak time (and the schema migration run).
At the time it is deployed, we need to make a few changes directly in
the database:
(1) UPDATE django_content_type set app_label='zerver' where app_label='zephyr';
(2) UPDATE south_migrationhistory set app_name='zerver' where app_name='zephyr';
