For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.

ways by tabbott]
Also fix the annotation of zilencer.views.report_error.
The `report` arguments are a Dict containing both strings and the
`more_info` sub-dictionary, so we type them as Dict[str, Any].

This probably still has some bugs in it, but having mostly complete
annotations for models.py will help a lot for the annotations folks
are adding to other files.
The previous separated-out configuration wasn't helping us, and this
makes it easier to make the extra installed applications pluggable in
the following commits.
As documented in https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/441, Guardian
has quite poor performance, and in fact almost 50% of the time spent
running the Zulip backend test suite on my laptop was inside Guardian.
As part of this migration, we also clean up the old API_SUPER_USERS
variable used to mark EMAIL_GATEWAY_BOT as an API super user; now that
permission is managed entirely via the database.
When rebasing past this commit, developers will need to do a
`manage.py migrate` in order to apply the migration changes before the
server will run again.
We can't yet remove Guardian from INSTALLED_APPS, requirements.txt,
etc. in this release, because otherwise the reverse migration won't
work.
Fixes#441.
Previously, the UserProfile objects were created in the order
generated by a Set, which meant tests would randomly start failing if
the code that runs before this part of populate_db changed (and thus
caused the Set object used to pass users into bulk_create_users to
have a different order when enumerated).
This fixes the issue in two ways -- one by sorting the users inside
bulk_create_users, and second by attaching subscriptions to users
based on a deterministic ordering.
get_realm is better in two key ways:
* It uses memcached to fetch the data from the cache and thus is faster.
* It does a case-insensitive query and thus is more safe.
