Timing out within the Twitter portion of the render causes the message
to still go through (without a preview). If we don't timeout here, it
causes the entire Markdown render to timeout, which rejects the
message in its entirety -- a far worse outcome.

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.

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.

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

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.

Even though they look like images, they're not -- you need to
append ?dl=1 to get the image version.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)

Supporting ``` as a code fence marker complicates the auto-fence
closing, and as per a discussion with Keegan on code-review@, it
is not worth the extra complexity.

This is syntax like
Here's [a link][]
[a link]: http://google.com
This is not very useful for short chat-style messages. It will confuse users,
especially because we don't document it. And disabling it saves the effort of
applying the same link fixups as elsewhere.
