Rather than calling the template generating code once per
subscription, let's just do it in a batch when possible.
With about 100 subscriptions, the "fetch" call takes about 800ms to
render (while testing locally) both before and after this change,
which is somewhat disappointing.
But this *is* cleaner!

From the Google JavaScript Style Guide:
If you need a map/hash use Object instead of Array in these cases because
the features that you want are actually features of Object and not of Array.
Array just happens to extend Object (like any other object in JS and
therefore you might as well have used Date, RegExp or String).

entries to the subscriptions_table at all when we do
subscribe-and-send.
