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).

Apparently, something in Django 1.5's changes to their default logging
setup resulted in the logger 500 errors (logged in
django.core.handlers.base.handle_uncaught_exception) from reaching the
root logger -- they stopped at propagating at the 'django' logger. We
deal with this by making our logging system handle those events in the
'django' logger ourselves (and making the related changes needed to
ensure that we still log to server.log and the console everything
logged by our own humbug.requests logger and anything that falls
through to the root logger).
This requires updating the mechanism we use in test_settings.py to
silence our request logging, since now the 'humbug.requests' logger is
being re-initialized by the Django logging setup, which runs after
test_settings.py.
While we're at it, set propagate=False in the commented-out
'django.db' logging configuration (previously, queries would be logged
twice).

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.

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

After c1d98239 the function works in CasperJS as well.

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.

We need this so that we can safely expunge old events without interfering with
the running server. See #414.

Before this is deployed, we need to install rabbitmq and pika on the
target server (see the puppet part of this commit for how).
When this is deployed, we need to start the new user activity bot:
./manage.py process_user_activity
in the screen session on the relevant server, or user_activity logs
won't be processed (which will eventually result in all users getting
notifications about how their mirrors are out of date).

Previously it wouldn't work due to using the wrong port numbers.
This commit also has the side effect of fixing the fact that our
frontend tests would send real emails and log events to the real
message log.

CasperJS can't handle them; window.webkitNotifications.requestPermission()
throws a type error. We can revisit this when we want to write tests for the
notification code.
