We let supervisor create the socket for us by making humbug-django a
fcig-program. Unfortunately, supevisor doesn't support putting
fcgi-programs in groups (see
https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/148), so we have to
restart tornado and django separately.
To deploy, copy the config files over and restart nginx and
supervisor (via stopping and then starting it because restart is
broken). I believe the automated restart as part of
update-deployment will fail because of the way supervisor treats
programs in groups. If so, after restarting supervisor, you will
also need to run restart-server manually to fill the caches and then
delete the lock directory in humbug-deployments.

The amount of process downtime during a supervisord-mediated restart
appears to be linear in the number of processes that are being
restarted. Therefore, restarting just Django and Tornado causes less
downtime than doing them at the same time as the other worker
processes.

This change will make it so that processes related to the app.humbughq.com
server are run under supervisord, which uses a state machine model to ensure
that programs are running. It also ensure process startup order.
We will need to manually switch the old way of running server (in screen) into
this new way of doing things, on both staging and prod (app_frontend.pp has been
updated appropriately). This means:
1) cp servers/puppet/modules/humbug/files/supervisord/conf.d/humbug.conf /etc/supervisord/conf.d
2) installing the supervisor package.
3) killing those while loops in that screen session
4) mkdir /var/log/humbug (as root)
5) /etc/init.d/supervisord start
6) check that nothing broke

The previous version ended up being (at least sometimes) wrong after
the recent deployment system changes.
(imported from commit dec3beb1b1bf8b9c9ad6820b93b0a5d730d020e8)
This requires manual steps on deploy to each of staging and prod:
(1) Run the new update-deployment code to setup the initial deployment directory.
(2) Restart all the programs running in screen sessions.
(3) Deploy the nginx changes and restart nginx.

restart-server has been relatively slow recently, and it'd be nice to
know what it is spending its time doing when it hangs for a few
seconds.

Our previous code could in theory end up clearing the caches it had
just filled, if Tornado's cache filling work happened to be faster
than the memcached flush.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)

Manual deployment steps: The same Nginx reload as for "Get rid of the
static-access-control mechanism". If deploying both commits at once,
just do it once.
