We leave the stuff under api/ alone for now, since we need to be able to ship
it as a standalone thing.
tools/post-receive wasn't using the function anyway.
For push to master: Push this commit, update post-receive per instructions at
the top of that file, then push the rest of the branch to confirm that the hook
still works.
No manual instructions for prod.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)

Realistically, if the bot crashes once, it'll probably crash the next
time too, so I'm not convinced we need this loop at all, but in the
interests of avoiding churn on an extensively tested script, I'm going
to err on the side of the minimal change here.

This adds two characters to the length of our default format field, but
based on a conversation I had with kcr, I think this should probably be
okay. If it's a problem, the symptom we'll see is that certain people
will be unable to send zephyrs with this default format (so, certain
Humbug users will have their forwarding consistently fail).
We need to remember to, in a future commit (once everyone has started
using the updated version), remove the:
> or notice.format.endswith("@(@color(blue))")

Fixes#602.
I replaced the SIGKILL with a SIGINT, and then catch SIGINT with a
handler. This handler calls cancelSubs if necessary, and can later be
edited to perform other clean-up operations, too. I thought about, in
this same commit, changing the SIGTERM in
maybe_restart_mirroring_script to a SIGINT, but after tracing out the
code paths, I realized that isn't necessary. (The SIGTERM is
necessarily performed on a process that has not subscribed to any
zephyr classes, so cancelSubs is unnecessary. If we do think that we
may want to add additional clean-up operations in the future, though,
then it might be worth investigating changing this SIGTERM.)

Bots are not part of what we distribute, so put them in the repo root.
We also updated some of the bots to use relative path names.

Previously, if users of our code put the API folder in their pyshared
they would have to import it as "humbug.humbug". By moving Humbug's API
into a directory named "humbug" and moving the API into __init__, you
can just "import humbug".

This was causing about 10% of the time, personals being forwarded by
tabbott/extra@ATHENA.MIT.EDU to get this error:
zwrite: Field too long for buffer while sending notice to
tabbott/extra@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
We don't fully understand the cause of the problem, but this fixes it.

Sometimes the very first message we send isn't received by
python-zephyr; this could be because of our growing a 17-message queue
of zephyrs to service, so let's not do that.

This ensures that Humbug receives the verbatim text of the Nagios
body, rather than a slightly modified version. Tested by running
manually.

The refactoring that we did a couple weeks ago to make the zephyr
mirror script restart itself automatically (by splitting it into
zephyr_mirror.py and zephyr_mirror_backend.py) had a poor interaction
with our code for killing old zephyr_mirror processes (to prevent
double-mirroring). If you manually ran two copies of the outer
mirroring script (zephyr_mirror.py), then the second one would on
startup kill the first one's zephyr_mirror_backend.py children (for
being duplicate zephyr_mirror_backend.py processes that would result
in double-mirroring). However, importantly, it did not kill the first
mirroring script's zephyr_mirror.py parent process, so the first
mirroring script would then proceed to startup up new children. The
process then repeats, with the two scripts' roles reversed.
This issue didn't affect the sharded mirroring case, where I had been
doing the testing of the kill code with that refactoring, because we
don't have a version of the outer zephyr_mirror.py loop for that
situation (a consequence of it being hard to restart the threads
properly with the run_parallel API that we're using to spawn all the
children).

This is probably a lot more annoying to use, in that e.g. there are
separate log files for the two directions of the mirror, but we
haven't used these logs for much, so whatever.

Previously all that we logged was the sender, which turns out to be a
constant for humbug=>zephyr mirroring.

Features include:
* Not forking into two processes (shells out to zwrite to send
instead). This makes life easier since we're not doing concurrent
programming.
* Eliminated a lot of hard-to-read or unnecessary debugging output.
* Adding explanatory test suggesting the likely problem for some
common sets of received messages.
* Much less code duplication.
* Support for testing a sharded zephyr_mirror script (--sharded).
* Use of the logging module to print timestamps -- makes debugging
some issues a lot.
* Only one sleep, and for only 10 seconds, between sending the
outgoing messages and checking that they were received.
* Support for running two copies of this script at the same time, so that
running it manually doesn't screw up Nagios.
* Passed running 100 tests run in a row.

We should be canonicalizing stream names to class names in
update_subscriptions_from_humbug, before we even decide which classes
to subscribe to; otherwise deduplication and tracking of which classes
we're already subscribed to won't work.

In this case, if we're configured to not forward personals, there's no
point in logging a decision not to forward one.

It seems that check-mirroring was reporting a lot of spurious failures
due to it sometimes taking more than 3 seconds for the setup phase of
check-mirroring's receive path to run. So fix this:
(1) Wait a bit more than 3 seconds for the receiver to subscribe to
messages
(2) Subscribe to Humbug messages before forking (we can't do this with
zephyr.init() because python-zephyr gets totally messed up if you use
it from multiple processes with a shared initialization)
(3) Get rid of the old time.sleep(0.x) values that were intended to
make messages arrive in order -- since we're now checking that
messages correctly arrived using set(), they aren't needed.
(4) Use a single request to subscribe to both zephyr classes we need
to subscribe to (saves 1 RTT).

Sometimes messages are delayed passed the allowed 10 seconds. We may
eventually decide that that amount of latency is unacceptable, but the
latency is not what this script is supposed to be checking.

This improves the throughput of mirroring a large number of zephyrs in
a row from about 1.5/second to about 9/second, which is basically
satisfactory.

Personals are now just private messages between two people (which
sometimes manifests as a private message with one recipient). The
new message type on the send path is 'private'. Note that the receive
path still has 'personal' and 'huddle' message types.

Previously messages sent to zephyr instance " " wouldn't be forwarded
zephyr=>humbug because the target instance is the null instance; I
learned this when we got a few tracebacks in the zephyr_mirror log, so
clearly this does happen.

This happens sometimes (especially when our server is restarting), and
isn't a _real_ problem -- it's much more important that we have a
completely reliable test that we can put a Nagios alert against.
