The --insecure option ("insecure=true" in .zuliprc) disables
verification entirely, similar to other tools like curl.
The --cert_bundle ("cert_bundle=<file>" in .zuliprc) allows
a file to be specified containing the CA certificates to verify
against.
When using self-signed certificates, the server's public key
can be used as the only cerificate in the file.
This change incidentally fixes an issue where the "site" parameter
in .zuliprc was ignored when specifying --user and --api-key on
the command line.
Fixes: #104
Meant to be used in tandem with the manage.py import command.
The following sensitive data is scrubbed:
* user api keys
* user password hashes
* stream email keys
* invite-only streams
* messages from invite-only streams
* messages from users from other domains

This can happen if the calling process is handling SIGCHLD. See

We ran into this in the zephyr_mirror.
(imported from commit 80fade2274714b7c2c4b9fe38c66a1db8cc63234)
The idea here is that for usages like in the zephyr mirror bot:
backoff = RandomExponentialBackoff()
while backoff.keep_going():
print "Starting zephyr mirroring bot"
try:
subprocess.call(args)
except:
traceback.print_exc()
backoff.fail()
we want it to be the case that the mirror bot running for a while counts as a
success so that the bot doesn't have a finite number of crashes over its entire
lifetime. We only want the mirror bot to stop retrying if it fails too many
times in a row.

This will allow us to substantially decrease the server-side work that
we do to support our Mirroring systems (since the personal mirrors can
request only messages that user sent) and also is what we need to
support a single-stream Zulip widget that we embed in webpages.

This way command-line scripts that use our `optparse` populator can
still specify a custom client without munging their `parser` object.
(imported from commit df8d28a46a4d4574523b106030dbfed2d9ac931e)
We previously sent our client type to the server as a GET/POST parameter
of "client=<something>", most commonly "client=API: Python".
We switch here to providing the same information as a User-agent header
sent on each request, which is more standards-compliant.
Also added is some data about the platform the user is using. If your
client string was set to "MyLittleZulip/1.0", the resultant string could
look something like this:
MyLittleZulip/1.0 (Ubuntu; 12.04)

Previously it only provided the list of all public streams; now it
allows one to specify any union of some of the following:
* all public streams
* all streams the user subscribed to
(the most relevant being the union of those two, which is what we want
for the "streams" page).
Or:
* all streams in realm (superuser only)
The manual task required is that when this is pushed to prod, we need
to also deploy the new sync-public-streams version to zmirror.
(imported from commit 27848b8bd136e2777f399b7d05b2fdcec35e4e21)
When we deploy this, we'll need to of course actually build and deploy
the new API tarball.
