We were reloading siteconfigs on every single request, which was
unnecessary. It was only necessary to reload if the siteconfig had
changed since it was last used. This wasn't particularly time-consuming,
but it was extra work that shouldn't be needed, and it made it hard to
handle reloads of logging.

To track whether a siteconfig should be reloaded, we now check a private
flag on the SiteConfiguration. If it's not set, we perform a full reload
(which now restarts logging as well, something that was missing and hard
to do correctly before). If it is set, we do nothing.

Browsed around the site a bit and checked things affected by settings.

Reloaded settings and saw it go through the reload path.

Tested a multi-process setup:

  1. Set up two devservers on two different ports, each connected to a single memcached.

  2. Loaded a page on both. Saw the initial log messages about writing to /tmp/reviewboard.log.

  3. Changed log settings on server1 to point to ~/reviewboard.log. Saw it reload the siteconfig
    and output the new log destination as part of that request.

  4. Loaded a page on server2, and saw it reload logging, pointing to the new location.

  5. Changed the logging destination back to /tmp/reviewboard.log on server2. Saw it reload and
    output the /tmp location.

  6. Loaded a page on server1, and saw it reload logging, pointing to the new location.
