This fixes a significant performance issue with LaTeX rendering (and
other things that invoked node) where starting up node took a few
hundred milliseconds due to nvm initialization.
Tweaked by tabbott to avoid copying the node binary itself, instead
using a tiny wrapper script.
This is important primarily because it's possible a future version of
node will expect to find libraries/dependencies/etc. installed via NVM
at some path related to the path of the node binary itself, and that's
more guaranteed with this new model.
Fixes#4618.
Now that we're no longer actively debugging this tool, there's no need
to have it print everything it's doing.
This will make `test-backend` a lot nicer to use.
generate-secrets.py now requires --development for development environment
setup or --production for production environment setup (and one of these
options is mandatory).
This solves the problem that it was somewhat easy to accidentally run
generate-secrets.py without the `-d` option while doing manual development
environment setup.
Fixes: #1911.
NVM takes a specific node version and installs the node package and
a corresponding compatible npm package.
We use it in a somewhat hackish way to install node/npm globally with
a pinned version, since that's how we actually want to consume node in
our development environment.
Other details:
- Travis CI now is configured to use the version of node installed by
provision; the easiest way to do this was to sabotage the existing node
installation.
- jsdom is upgraded to a current version, which both requires recent
node and also is required for the tests to pass with recent node.
This fixes running the node tests on Xenial.
Fixes#1498.

The manage.py change effectively switches the Zulip production server
to use the virtualenv, since all of our supervisord commands for the
various Python services go through manage.py.
Additionally, this migrates the production scripts and Nagios plugins
to use the virtualenv as well.
Previously, we used shell quoting that would result in the shell variable not
being substituted. Instead, we use `"`s that will allow for variable
substitution.
Previously these were hardcoded in zproject/settings.py to be accessed
on localhost.

This fixes an annoying issue where one tries to rebuild the database,
and it fails due to there being existing connections.
The one thing that is potentially scary about this implementation is
that it means it's now a lot easier to accidentally drop your
production database by running the wrong script; might be worth adding
a "--force" flag controlling this behavior or something.
Thanks to Nemanja Stanarevic and Neeraj Wahi for prototypes of this
implementation! They did most of the work and testing for this.
This fixes some issues that we've had where commands will fail is
confusing ways after the database is rebuilt because data from before
the database was dropped is still in the memcached cache.
This fixes issue #123. Namely, the script in scripts/setup/install was
returning 0. Adding `set -e` and `set -o pipeline` causes the install
script to exit and return 1 if any part fails, including piping output
(`set -o pipeline` does this).
Most of our installation process is idempotent, but this step in
particular is not, so it's important to provide a clear error message
about how to proceed.
