This is a big change affecting lots of areas:
* Pipeline no longer deals with JS (though it still minifies CSS)
* A new script, tools/minify-js (called from update-prod-static),
minifies JavaScripts
* A command-line argument --prev-deploy, if passed to minify-js or
update-prod-static, is used to copy minified JS from a previous
deploy (i.e., a previous git checkout), if the source files have
not changed
* update-deployment passes --prev-deploy
* Scripts are now included with the minified_js template tag, rather
than Pipeline's compressed_js
Also, as a side benefit of this commit, our Handlebars templates will
no longer be copied into prod-static/ and accessible in production.
Unminification is probably broken, but, per Zev and Trac ticket #1377,
it wasn't working perfectly before this change either.
(Based on code review, this commit has been revised to:
* Warn if git returns an error in minify-js
* Add missing output redirects in update-prod-static
* Use DEPLOY_ROOT instead of manually constructing that directory
* Use old style formatting)

This saves something like 15ms on our 1000 message get_old_messages
queries, and will save even more when we start sending JSON dumps into
our memcached system.
We need to install python-ujson on servers and dev instances before
pushing this to prod.

See PEP 328[1] for details. This feature was introduced in Python 2.5 and
will become mandatory in Python 3.
