This was the original way to send messages via the Zulip API in the
very early days of Zulip, but was replaced by the REST API back in
2013.
Fixes: #730.
We now have 100% coverage on views/push_notifications.py, modulo
some dead code which will be addressed in the next commit.
There were some existing tests in text_external.py, but that
module is really intended for tests that hit external services.
The view is a really simple API that updates a DB table, and the
new test code focuses on error handling and idempotency as well
as the happy path.
This makes us more consistent, since we have other wrappers
like client_patch, client_put, and client_delete.
Wrapping also will facilitate instrumentation of our posting code.
Also encode/decode strings appropriately when using api_keys to generate
basic auth header.
Also fix clashing annotations in zerver/tests/test_external.py.
S3Test is now only the S3-specific test (which isn't even run), so we
can now invest in making FileUploadTest have good coverage of the
(local) file upload code paths.
