Unfortunately, GitHub's web UI for generating release tarballs uses
`.gitattributes` to control what files to download, and thus if you
downloaded a source tarball for older Zulip versions using the GitHub
web UI, you'd be missing important files.
We fix this for future releases by moving the blacklist out of
.gitattributes.
Fixes#129.
This file hasn't reflected the actual configuration of any live
installation for some time, nor been part of any tests or other
mechanism to regularly validate it, so it's naturally fallen
behind as we make changes to the set of settings and typically
don't update this file accordingly. Just remove it; all the
documentation functions it serves are already served just as
well by prod_settings_template.py and its ample comments.
This moves the analytics module from being a default-off module that
is somewhat difficult to install to being a default part of the
Zulip distribution (both tarballs and what is enabled by default).
We need to update provision.py to compile the messages files, since
they are needed for the new i18n tests. And of course we need to
include the .mo files in release tarballs; there's a bit of complexity
there around how the tarball archives are created.
For git that's not between version 1.8.1.1 and 1.8.1.6, the previous
version did not actually exclude those things from the tarballs on
some git versions, due to changes in the syntax for that file that
were made in 1.8.1.1 and reverted in 1.8.1.6.
Kevin's also adding a check that we're not including any of the files
intended to be excluded here.

This moves the list of removed files from .gitattributes to
tools/build-local-server-tarball because static/ and tools/ are
necessary for update-prod-static, and it seemed best to keep the
entire list in one place.

Arguably this shouldn't live in git at all, but given that it does, we
can at least move it to saner location.

We need to maintain this by labeling the files that we don't want to
ship with our local server tarballs in the .gitattributes file.
