do_deactivate_user can't be run in an atomic block due to concerns
around revoking session in a transaction. See

Without the change in this commit, the process of deactivating a user
via SCIM is broken.
The new release adds the commit:
20ac22b96d
Which allows us to get rid of the entire ugly override that was needed
to do this commit's job in our code. What we do here in this commit:
* Use django-scim2 0.17.1
* Revert the relevant parts of f5a65846a8
* Adjust the expected error message in test_exception_details_not_revealed_to_client
since the message thrown by django-scim2 in this release is slightly
different.
We do not have to add anything to set EXPOSE_SCIM_EXCEPTIONS, since
django-scim2 uses False as the default, which is what we want - and we
have the aforementioned test verifying that indeed information doesn't
get revealed to the SCIM client.
As detailed in the comments, the default behavior is undesirable for us
because we can't really predict all possibilities of exceptions that may
be raised - and thus putting str(e) in the http response is potentially
insecure as it may leak some unexpected sensitive information that was
in the exception.
As a hypothetical example - KeyError resulting from some buggy
some_dict[secret_string] call would leak information. Though of course
we aim to never write code like that.
