Since we log to statsd our cache time lookups by cache key, using a unique
tweet id for each lookup was just filling up our cache without being useful.
Also, log database cache lookups in a further namespace to distinguish between
memcached caches

For sites that are supported, we now grab thumbnails for images + video
embed code for videos and use them in lieu of our existing embed code.
We also embed rich non-script content.
Special casing is done so that we don't embed images twice.
Some testcases were modified to avoid triggering Embed.ly
The manual step is to install python-embedly.

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
./manage.py createcachetable third_party_api_results

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.
