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).

This cuts about 6 seconds off of the test startup time on my laptop.
The other startup costs are about 1 second for the server to come up
and about half a second for casperjs to begin executing tests.
generate-fixtures now takes a '--force' option that can be use to
force a regeneration of the test database.

So, I got annoyed that our test suite was taking forever to run:
real 2m13.443s
user 1m32.630s
sys 0m3.748s
Some quick profiling determined that the test suite is spending all of
its time loading the fixtures files (zephyr/fixtures/messages.json)
that it loads for each test case (3s to load that for each test case).
To improve this situation, I cut out from the test database used by
the test suite most of the users, subscriptions, etc. that aren't
being used directly by the test cases. The impact is a quite
significant speedup:
real 0m15.176s
user 0m9.161s
sys 0m0.508s
We're still spending over a quarter of a second per test, which isn't
great -- but this is at least no longer unbearable.
This commit doesn't make any changes to the populate_db output if you
don't pass the new --test-suite option.

Run this script on an existing realm to create or change default
streams, which new users will get upon account creation.
(imported from commit 8938dcbd3520d97d25b4c6ca783d35c9aef52df0)
Note that realms aren't actually used for anything, aren't prompted
for, etc, so this is mostly just a schema change and the refactoring
needed to allow setting the realm in the future.
