THE CENSUS OF HUMBUG
Now it happened that at this time Waseem Daher issued a decree that
a census should be made of the whole users of Humbug.
This census -- the first -- took place while Faraone was governor of
MailChimp, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own realm.
So Alice Humbugger set out from the town of MIT for MailChimp in order to
be registered.

Previously a default was missing from this function, which resulted in
users being unable to change their settings if they tried to disable
sounds.

It's strictly more functional, and having a single arguments
extraction decorator makes our codebase less confusing.

This decouples from Chrome notifications, which gives us cross-platform
support in at least modern browsers.
We log this action so its replayable in our message logs.
This implements the model change indicated by the previous schema commit.

Previously, we were fetching Message.objects.select_related() from the
database, even if we actually ended up fetching the message dicts from
memcached and thus not actually using them. Especially in the cached
case, this resulted in a lot of overhead where the Django ORM put
together Message objects with lots of data in them that were never
used. This commit switches the model to only fetch the full message
objects from the database for those messages which are not found in
the memcached caches.
Here are the timings for get_old_messages before this patch was applied:
(cached)
127ms (db: 42ms/2q) /json/get_old_messages (starnine@mit.edu via website)
385ms (db: 105ms/1q) /json/get_old_messages (starnine@mit.edu via website)
(uncached)
315ms (mem: 6ms/41) (db: 90ms/22q) /json/get_old_messages (starnine@mit.edu via website)
507ms (db: 94ms/14q) /json/get_old_messages (starnine@mit.edu via website)
Here are the timings for get_old_messages after this patch was applied:

This fixes a bug where if you were narrowed to a search and received
a new message that belonged in that search, the message would appear
to have an empty subject and content.

This can be useful for debugging what sort of narrow is happening in
addition to the URI decoding bug we're currently experiencing.

We HTML-escape the subject in Postgres to avoid a server round-trip.
Unlike the rendered_content, which is already escaped and cached on
zephyr_message, we normally escape subjects client-side. Escaping in
Django would require fetching the messages that match the query,
escaping the subjects, and then making a second query to Postgres to
insert the markup. We could instead fetch the messages with subjects
marked up using non-HTML (some unique string) that is later converted
into the correct markup either in Django or client-side, but then the
escaping problem would just be with some random string instead of
HTML. Since the function is pretty simple, doing the escaping in
Postgres itself is the least painful option.

In the case where we're getting old messages for a narrowed view, the
anchor message id might not actually be in the result set so there's
no reason to fetch an extra message.

This allows users on signup-eligible domains to sign up for Humbug using
Google Apps.
As part of this, we wrap the openid done view in our own code in order to
handle the "Unknown user" error. Therein, we create a PreregistrationUser
and then shunt the user through the rest of the confirmation process, pre-
filling in their name.

Having a message ID range significantly improves the query
performance because the number of messages Postgres has to consider
is much smaller.

On my laptop, this saves about 80 milliseconds per 1000 messages
requested via get_old_messages queries. Since we only have one
memcached process and it does not run with special priority, this
might have significant impact on load during server restarts.

See PEP 328[1] for details. This feature was introduced in Python 2.5 and
will become mandatory in Python 3.

Amazingly, this saves about 250ms on every get_old_messages query in
my testing on postgres.humbughq.com (previously, we were scanning all
rows in the zephyr_usermessage table rather than using an index).

This works by rather than hardcoding e.g. "message__recipient",
using (prefix + "recipient") where prefix is either "message__" or "".
