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 commit loses some indexes, unique constraints etc. that were
manually added by the old migrations. I plan to add them to a new
migration in a subsequent commit.

Sometimes I get the error "Selected message id not in MessageList"
when running the casper tests. I think it's probably when the test
user's home view does not contain any messages.
Ideally we would fix this in a way that guarantees that we generate
whatever messages the test suite needs...

We do this by creating a new zulip{_test}_base database that only has the zulip
schema and the tsearch_extras extension. We then use that as a template when
creating zulip{_test}.

This requires no changes in production, but is tagged as manual to
remind developers that they need to edit and run the tools/migrate-db
script to fix up their local database instances.
