To work around the issue we're having with queue draining between
parallel blocking connections, use the same rabbitmq queue for both
activity and presence events, keyed on a 'type' flag in the message
itself.

The production database will need to have this user created before
this commit is pushed

We need this so that we can safely expunge old events without interfering with
the running server. See #414.

Before this is deployed, we need to install rabbitmq and pika on the
target server (see the puppet part of this commit for how).
When this is deployed, we need to start the new user activity bot:
./manage.py process_user_activity
in the screen session on the relevant server, or user_activity logs
won't be processed (which will eventually result in all users getting
notifications about how their mirrors are out of date).

This commit has the effect of eliminating all of the non-UserActivity
database queries from the Tornado process -- at least in the uncached
case.
This is safe to do, if a bit fragile, since our Tornado code only
accesses these objects (as opposed to their IDs) in a few places that
are all fine with old data, and I don't expect us to add any new ones
soon:
* UserActivity logging, which I plan to move out of Tornado entirely
* Checking whether we're authenticated in our decorators (which could
be simplified -- the actual security check is just whether the
Django session object has a particular field)
* Checking the user realm for whether we should sync to the client
notices about their Zephyr mirror being up to date, which is quite
static and I think we can move out of this code path.
But implementation constraints around mapping the user_ids to
user_profile_ids mean that it makes sense to get the actual objects
for now.
This code is not what I want to do long-term. I expect we'll be able
to clean up the dual User/UserProfile nonsense once we integrate the
upcoming Django 1.5 release, with its support for pluggable User
models, and after that I change, I expect it'll be fairly easy to make
the Tornado code only work with the user ID, not the actual objects.

Otherwise one gets:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'time'
when trying to use the time module from inside zephyr.lib.
(imported from commit 645368672a3eff68320278dd480edeed56721fcc)
Note that on local dev servers, this will print out every half second, as
Tornado polls for file changes for autoreloading. In production it will only
print out when network events occur.
(imported from commit adfe88879e4e446b7dfa6ee69e0a9ad013e9c4d4)
tornado.web already does this, based on the setting of the 'debug' kwarg.
Dropping this in production saves us waking up twice a second to stat()
a bunch of files.
We already explicitly restart the server on deploys.

So, I got annoyed that our test suite was taking forever to run:
real 2m13.443s
user 1m32.630s
sys 0m3.748s
Some quick profiling determined that the test suite is spending all of
its time loading the fixtures files (zephyr/fixtures/messages.json)
that it loads for each test case (3s to load that for each test case).
To improve this situation, I cut out from the test database used by
the test suite most of the users, subscriptions, etc. that aren't
being used directly by the test cases. The impact is a quite
significant speedup:
real 0m15.176s
user 0m9.161s
sys 0m0.508s
We're still spending over a quarter of a second per test, which isn't
great -- but this is at least no longer unbearable.
This commit doesn't make any changes to the populate_db output if you
don't pass the new --test-suite option.

This is needed to avoid exceptions trying to do internal_send_message
in any test against a simple populate_db database.

Importing zephyr.views here has the unfortunate side effect of
creating Client ids 1 and 2 automatically (via decorators.py
instantiating the two client objects it makes), before we go ahead and
delete all objects in the database as part of the populate_db startup.

Previously, the StreamColor restore code didn't properly account for
the fact that most user subscriptions were in pending_subs and thus
not yet in the database.

By processing UserMessage objects in batches as we go, this avoids
consuming a large amount of memory that is linear in the size of the
messages log.

This is useful when testing the sigup workflow, as this script enables you
to run through a MIT signup without manually creating a new inactive user
in the database.

We previously were only using it at the first loop through all
messages, which meant code accessing the message type copied from one
place to another would break (potentially subtly), because things
would work if and only if the very last message happened to have the
same type as what is expected in the relevant piece of code.
