Add default "http://" to site argument locally if it is not specified
in an api call.
This fixes a problem where if you didn't manually specify `http://`
when connecting to a development server, the API bindings would hang
trying to connect using HTTPS.
Stops defaulting the site parameter to the now-nonexistent
https://zulip.com, and ask the user to enter the site via --site or
~/.zuliprc if not provided.
Fixes#2039.
This adds support for passing a client cert (in the format expected by the
`requests` library) to the `Client` constructor, as well as for specifying
one on the command line or in .zuliprc (through new `client_cert` and
`client_cert_key` options).
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

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)
(imported from commit 39fd187a8f9d4b3c9b63fc623e0836e57a4099ca)
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.
