    Update the guidance around a lot of our optional dependencies.

    Reviewers

    We have optional dependencies for database backends, SCMs, and
    attachment storage modules that we've provided instructions for in the
    past. Some of these have been pretty straight-forward. We can just tell
    people to install mercurial, for instance, because we don't
    particularly want to care about the version, and we don't link with it.
    However, some modules, like django-storages need to have their
    versions managed, and others may need to down the road.

    This change adds a bunch of optional dependencies in extras_requires
    in setup.py, which are keyed off by an obvious name. From here, we can
    set and maintain version ranges, when appropriate, or add on additional
    dependencies if we need to include something specific for a module.

    The documentation has been updated to reference installing the
    ReviewBoard[XYZ] package for these dependencies.

    There's also instructions pointing PySVN users to our new installer,
    helping them more easily get set up on most systems.

    Successfully installed the packages via our wrapping ReviewBoard[...] names.

    Verified the new documentation and the link to PySVN.

    Update the guidance around a lot of our optional dependencies.
    We have optional dependencies for database backends, SCMs, and attachment storage modules that we've provided instructions for in the past. Some of these have been pretty straight-forward. We can just tell people to install `mercurial`, for instance, because we don't particularly want to care about the version, and we don't link with it. However, some modules, like `django-storages` need to have their versions managed, and others may need to down the road. This change adds a bunch of optional dependencies in `extras_requires` in `setup.py`, which are keyed off by an obvious name. From here, we can set and maintain version ranges, when appropriate, or add on additional dependencies if we need to include something specific for a module. The documentation has been updated to reference installing the `ReviewBoard[XYZ]` package for these dependencies.
