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]
If a user's session cookie expired, the next REST API request their
browser did would go into the json_unauthorized code path. This
returned a response with a WWW-Authenticate tag for HTTP Basic Auth
(since that's what the REST API uses), even for /json requests which
should only be authenticated using session auth.
We fix this by explicitly passing the desired WWW-Authenticate state.
Fixes: #800.
After annotating rate_limiter.rules, mypy complained that rules does
not support cmp. So use key to customize sort instead of cmp.
Python docs also recommend using key over cmp.
zerver.lib.initial_password.initial_password is supposed to return an
Optional[text_type], but it returns an Optional[binary_type] instead.
Encode the return value to make sure it returns an Optional[text_type].
Add a class 'BaseHandler' and make it a base class of OuterHandler,
QuoteHandler and CodeHandler. This will help annotate some functions
and improve type checking.
get_display_recipient's annotation clashes with other wrong annotations.
Fix those wrong annotations.
Since get_display_recipient returns a Union, use isinstance checks and
casts to make mypy checks succeed.
generate_random_token used to return a value of type six.binary_type
and its return type was annotated as `str`. This commit fixes that
by making it return a value of type `six.text_type` and updating
the annotation accordingly.
Also fix clashing annnotations.
Change choices of UserProfile.avatar_sources and UserProfile.tutorial_status
from str literals to unicode literals. This is done because these fields
are CharFields, which are of type `six.text_type`. So the set of values
which they can take should also be of the type `six.text_type`.
Also fix clashing annotations.
Change `str` to `text_type` in annotations in zerver/models.py
related to realm emoji and realm filters.
Also fix clashing annotations in zerver/lib/bugdown/__init__.py.
Due to a cyclic dependency issue, functions having models as parameters
were annotated as Any.
That issue is fixed by importing models inside an `if False:` block,
so that mypy sees them but they are not imported at runtime.
