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';

Currently our test database is backed by sqlite; this commit moves
us to using postgres for our all database needs. This, in conjunction
with the patched django on github, allow us to have fewer hacks and
more true-to-life tests. It also sets the stage for testing the bulk_create
and schema search_path patches made to django.
Developers will need to run:
./tools/postgres-init-test-db
./tools/do-destroy-rebuild-test-database
this is assuming that they have already run:
./tools/postgres-init-db
./tools/do-destroy-rebuild-database
at some point on this pg_cluster. (The ordering is important; it will other-
wise complain about the south_migration table).
