runtornado unbuffers its output using
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0).
This is not python 3 compatible since we can't specify
buffering on a text stream in python 3. So use the '-u'
option of python when calling runtornado.py to make output
unbuffered.
The new Tornado handler tracking logic properly handled requests that
threw an exception or followed the RespondAsynchronously code path,
but did not properly de-allocated the handler in the syncronous case.
An easy reproducer for this is to load a new Zulip browser window;
that will leak 2 handler objects for the 2 synchronous requests made
from Django to Tornado as part of initial state fetching.
The recent Tornado memory leak fix
(1396eb7022) didn't use the correct
variable name for the current handler ID, causing this cleanup code to
fail in the event that a view raised an exception.
In 2ea0daab19, handlers were moved to
being tracked via the handlers_by_id dict, but nothing cleared this
dict, resulting in every handler object being leaked. Since a Tornado
process uses a different handler object for every request, this
resulted in a significant memory leak. We fix this by clearing the
handlers_by_id dict in the two code paths that would result in a
Tornado handler being de-allocated: the exception codepath and the
handler disconnect codepath.
Fixes#463.
Previously, client descriptors were referenced directly from the
handler object. Once we split the Tornado process into separate queue
and connection servers, these will no longer be in the same process,
so we need to reference them by ID instead.
This requires a puppet apply on each of staging and prod0 to update
the nginx configuration to support the new URL when it is deployed.

The register_json_consumer() function now expects its callback
function to accept a single argument, which is the payload, as
none of the callbacks cared about channel, method, and properties.
This change breaks down as follows:
* A couple test stubs and subclasses were simplified.
* All the consume() and consume_wrapper() functions in
queue_processors.py were simplified.
* Two callbacks via runtornado.py were simplified. One
of the callbacks was socket.respond_send_message, which
had an additional caller, i.e. not register_json_consumer()
calling back to it, and the caller was simplified not
to pass None for the three removed arguments.

New dependency: sockjs-tornado
One known limitation is that we don't clean up sessions for
non-websockets transports. This is a bug in Tornado so I'm going to
look at upgrading us to the latest version:

This needs to be deployed to both staging and prod at the same
off-peak time (and the schema migration run).
At the time it is deployed, we need to make a few changes directly in
the database:
(1) UPDATE django_content_type set app_label='zerver' where app_label='zephyr';
(2) UPDATE south_migrationhistory set app_name='zerver' where app_name='zephyr';
