This is required because our migration is going to go in two phases.
When we do the database migration (on pushing to master), we update
all messages at that point. But prod doesn't know about the new
flags field, so any new messages sent on prod will not have the
read bit set.
When we push to prod, we want to re-run the bit of the migration script
that automatically sets read flags on messages older than the users's
pointer.

We now clean up the stream subscription in more places, but some
historical tutorial streams are still around and if an error or page
reload happens during the tutorial it'll stick around.

With this change,
pkill -SIGUSR1 -f runtornado
will dump the stack and SIGUSR2 will enable an interactive debugging
session.
This fixes#613 for Tornado which was the original motive for that
ticket; I'm not sure whether we want to do this for our Django
processes as well, but it would be easy to do so if we did.

The idea here is: part of the onboarding tutorial is going to
be you talking to the tutorial bot and it talking to you, from
our Javascript.
The reason it's driven by Javascript is that then in principle we can
do nice stuff like making popovers appear in places to point things
out to you, whereas if we were to do it strictly server-side, doing so
would be a lot harder.
The downside to doing it in Javascript is that you don't get any of
the Markdown rendering, since that happens on the server. So instead
we add this call where you give it a message, and it responds by
having the tutorial bot send you that message.
I don't think there are any security concerns here because
(1) The bot only messages you -- so you can't use it to make someone
else think that the system is telling them to do something
(2) If there were an issue associated with having the server parse
arbitrary Markdown, you could just trigger the issue by sending
a message yourself.

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.

We need this so that we can safely expunge old events without interfering with

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).
(imported from commit 44d605aca0290bef2c94fb99267e15e26b21673b)
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.

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()

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

Importing zephyr.views here has the unfortunate side effect of

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.

When we changed our stream name model to treat stream names as
case-insensitive, we didn't update populate_db to do the same.
This commit makes that update, which is to use the lower-cased stream
name for dictionary lookups and deduplication, but the original-case
stream name for actually creating streams.

authenticated_api_view and authenticated_json_view call
update_user_activity with a client generated using
@has_request_variables with a default of e.g. get_client("website").
Because that get_client call only happens once on importing the
module, if those client objects didn't exist previously in the
fixtures, then the first test will generate objects with ids 2 and 3,
and then the second test will dump the database, restore from the
fixtures, and then eventually generate client objects with ids 4 and
5. But since the default values were only computed at module load,
we'll still end calling add_user_activity with client objects with ids
2 and 3, which don't exist in the newly restored database.
Fix this madness by just making sure those two client objects exist in
the database.
