Remove the app_name for integration URLs.

Reviewers

Django 1.6 happily allows an application namespaec (app_name) to be
specified for any URLs, but newer 1.x versions only allow this if an
instance namespace (namespace) is being provided. Django 2.x doesn't
allow the parameter at all, instead requiring a whole different process
for specifying the app namespace.

This change removes the application namespace entirely for integration
URLs. We don't use it to resolve URLs ourselves, and callers can always
provide their own namespace, so there's not much point in keeping this
around.

Djblets and Review Board unit tests pass on Django 1.6 and 1.11.

Hmm, actually, this comment is confusing (seems backwards to the code).

    Hmm, actually, this comment is confusing (seems backwards to the code).

    1. It's the right way. If we're going to set an app_name, a namespace must be provided. Namespaces, however, do not require an app_name.

    2. I'm just saying the way it's written makes either the comment or the code seem wrong. How about "Django requires that we specify either both a namespace and app_name or neither."

    3. Turns out the app_name parameter to include is deprecated, and they have a new method for dealing with app names that Django 1.6 doesn't support. Sooo I'm just going to remove this entirely :) We don't really make use of it anywhere.
