This fixes an experienced bug where you couldn't subscribe to a stream
with non-ASCII characters (failing with a UnicodeEncodeError), as well
as many other potential bugs.

This is required by Pika 0.9.8. We need at least 0.9.6 for the next
commit; I had been testing with 0.9.5 previously. Anyway this way
seems more correct as well.

This will automatically fix bugs such as one in which
internal_send_message didn't properly strip() the subject argument
before sending a message.
We change the recipient_type argument to internal_send_message to take
the recipient type name (e.g. 'stream') both to better fit the API and
also because the previous code incorrectly handled huddles.

This cache should save 2 database queries whenever we send a private
message. However, previously it was per-process (which meant it was
mostly useless) and also buggy (it never stored anything in the cache,
so that it was completely useless). Switching this to our standard
memcached setup will address both problems.
(imported from commit 1d807f30704bccf28de33a80523488aedc58a9be)
Previously we only used these caches for Tornado requests, because we
were not updating memcached when e.g. the user's pointer changed, and
so functions like update_pointer would not work correctly.
Now that we are updated memcached when the User and UserProfile
objects change, we can use these for all requests.
This saves 2 database queries on every Django request to the server.

This should substantially decrease the amount of server load generated
by the userpresence system.
I tested that this indeed was indeed saving one query on
/json/update_active_status requests on my laptop with 2 users from the
humbughq.com realm logged in.

This cache filling code takes about 5 seconds to run, which means it
will finish before Tornado starts reading from this cache, but if that
were to change, it would be much better to have made at least some
progress.

Previously we were calling select_related() on Message.client, which
doesn't exist. It seems kinda poor that this doesn't raise an
exception.
I believe this issue was causing us to do very large numbers of
database queries during get_updates calls during server restarts.
(imported from commit b79bd698820fbd9dd82bd61fc175c32cd5ce6d05)
Since we flush memcached when we do a server restart, the flurry of
get_updates requests that fly in afterwards are all cache misses for
getting the User/UserProfile objects, so Tornado ends up spending
around 70ms per get_updates request rather than the usual 1-2ms.
So this should substantially improve our Tornado performance around
server restarts.

Sometimes Dropbox shares with /s/ and sometimes with /sh/,
and I'm not sure which controls it, but we should deal with both.

This avoids our repeatedly retrying to fetch a tweet that doesn't
exist from the Twitter API.
(imported from commit b4ca1060d03da21e7e59e5b99e682d2e8457df15)
This should substantially improve the repeat-rendering time for pages
with large numbers of tweets since we don't need to go all the way to
twitter.com, which can take like a second, to render tweets properly.
To deploy this commit properly, one needs to run
./manage.py createcachetable third_party_api_results

This commit adds a dependency on python-twitter,
whose upstream is at https://github.com/bear/python-twitter,
and which for now needs to manually be installed on our
servers from the Debian package in sid.

This uses the unauthed v1 of the Twitter API, which is going to go
away soon, but it's fine as an interim measure.
