Now that we can use our servers' DNS names internally, using
verify-full gives us a little bit of extra security.

This is often useful when working on a local development system and so
seems worth putting in the code, but is so verbose that it probably
doesn't make sense to have on by default in development.

This fixes a nondeterministic test failure for me.
The first message sent in the test suite appears to get dropped. I don't know
why this is, and I'm pretty sure it was an existing bug. This message used to
be the one disabling the tutorial, which might explain why that didn't always
work.
Regardless, this commit at least makes the test suite usable, and we can work
on fixing that bug later.

Previously we only used these caches for Tornado requests, because we
were not updating memcached when e.g. the user's pointer changed, and
so functions like update_pointer would not work correctly.
Now that we are updated memcached when the User and UserProfile
objects change, we can use these for all requests.
This saves 2 database queries on every Django request to the server.

We treat these exceptions the same way we treat fatal errors: report
the error message to our server and then allow the exception to reach
the top level.
We could also override document.onerror, but don't. There are a
couple of ramifications of this:
* Exceptions caused by event handlers directly attached to DOM
elements aren't handled
* Exceptions caused by code at the top level that triggers an error
(such as parse errors in our Javascript files) aren't handled
The reason we don't override document.onerror is because the
document.onerror handler has a limited interface and doesn't receive
the exception object. It only gets the message, file, and line
number of the error. Additionally, exceptions that we allow to
propogate out of blueslip trigger an onerror event when they're never
caught. In order to avoid handling the error twice (once by blueslip
and once by the onerror handler), we'd have to encode the fact that
the error has already been handled in the error message, which is
pretty ugly.

The new system, called blueslip, makes errors fatal when in debug
mode and only output a message when running in production. In the
future, it could also send user errors back to us automatically.

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.

This code adds a dependency on python-django-auth-openid, installable as
django-openid-auth from PyPI.
On prod, one needs to run a syncdb in order to create the required
tables. A database *migration* is not required, as these are new tables
only.

The idea here is: part of the onboarding tutorial is going to
be you talking to the tutorial bot and it talking to you, from
our Javascript.
The reason it's driven by Javascript is that then in principle we can
do nice stuff like making popovers appear in places to point things
out to you, whereas if we were to do it strictly server-side, doing so
would be a lot harder.
The downside to doing it in Javascript is that you don't get any of
the Markdown rendering, since that happens on the server. So instead
we add this call where you give it a message, and it responds by
having the tutorial bot send you that message.
I don't think there are any security concerns here because
(1) The bot only messages you -- so you can't use it to make someone
else think that the system is telling them to do something
(2) If there were an issue associated with having the server parse
arbitrary Markdown, you could just trigger the issue by sending
a message yourself.

Manual deployment steps: The same Nginx reload as for "Get rid of the

We will minify our code, rather than trying to restrict who can see the
un-minified code. Removing access control first simplifies things.
Manual deployment steps:
scp servers/puppet/files/nginx/humbug-include/app root@staging.humbughq.com:/etc/nginx/humbug-include/
ssh root@staging.humbughq.com service nginx reload
and then the same for app.humbughq.com once deployed to prod.

Previously, our database was cleared between tests but the cache wasn't,
so old database data would end up in the cache and cause unit test
failures. This replaces our cache with a dummy that doesn't actually
cache any data. In the future, if we decide that our tests require an
actual cache, we can return to LocMemCache and simply empty the cache in
the tearDown method of our tests.

Django doesn't use this setting, but South consults it when
inspecting tables for their constraints. The fact that we store our
tables in the 'humbug' schema was causing South to fail to find our
table constraints (it was looking in the 'public' schema) and
therefore throw an exception when we try to remove the unique
constraint in migration 0002.
