This can result in a significant performance benefit because we only
need to update the columns that changed..

The policy this implements is:
* 1 week for most persistent data (Clients, etc.)
* 1 day for messages

This saves 2 database queries per user in the huddle when sending the
first message to a particular huddle.

Previous we had around 4 copies of the logic for deciding whether we
should publish data via a SimpleQueueClient queue, a
TornadoQueueClient queue, or to directly handle the operation, which
resulted in their getting out of sync and buggy (see e.g. the previous
commit).
We need to add a lock around adding things to the queue to work around
a bug with pika's BlockingConnection.
I should note that the previous logic in some places had a bunch of
tests of the form "elif settings.TEST_SUITE" for doing the work that
would have been done by the queue processor directly; these should
have just been "else" clauses -- since we generally want that code to
run on development environments whether or not the test suite is
currently running.

Previously we had several files which initialized SimpleQueueClient()
for sending items to the UserActivity queue, even though those code
paths aren't used outside Tornado. This resulted in slower Tornado
startup times.

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.

This cache should save 2 database queries whenever we send a private
message. However, previously it was per-process (which meant it was
mostly useless) and also buggy (it never stored anything in the cache,
so that it was completely useless). Switching this to our standard
memcached setup will address both problems.

Prior to this change, any stream message sent by internal_send_message
could only be in the realm of the sender.
This was a problem most notably for... the tutorial bot, with the
hilarious consequence that the tutorial worked fine in humbughq.com,
but failed to start anywhere else.

Previously we were doing 100 queries for new messages being sent to
the main hacker school channels; they were faster than many similar
instances because they were all done within 1 transaction, but still,
send_message_backend would be spending up to 200ms (and 148 queries)
querying the database with the previous code on prod; this new version
should do a fixed number of database queries per message.

To work around the issue we're having with queue draining between
parallel blocking connections, use the same rabbitmq queue for both
activity and presence events, keyed on a 'type' flag in the message
itself.

This cuts the MIT Zephyr home page load time and also #subscriptions
database-sourced load time for me from about a second to about 50ms on
my laptop. The home page still takes about 600ms to load due to
templating.

Adds a new db table for storing presences, and an API for setting
an individual user's idleness as well as fetching all idle status
for all users in a realm

This will give us flexibility in the future to add new properties to the
list.
In order to support that, we now do a list comprehension rather than just
returning the gather_subscriptions list in get_stream_colors.

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).

internal_send_message now has the ability to send personals as well as
stream messages.
This change was accidentally lost during a rebase.

This allows us to handle the return_messages_immediately part of
