Add the ability to request a thread without its responses.

For cases where we don't need or want the responses on a thread at all,
like getting some metadata about a thread, we should be able to request
it without the responses.  This exists in the ThreadPresenter but didn't
exist as an option that could be passed in the API call itself.

We've added this as an option now -- with_responses -- that defaults to
true, which preserves the existing behavior but does in fact allow
toggling.

This gives us a backwards-compatible upgrade path to allow changes to be
made the LMS so that requests which don't need the responses, or do need
the responses, can be explicit about what they want.

MA-2678: replace use of 'updated_at' for 'read' state

Plucking instead of mapping.

Use pluck instead of map for upvoted/downvoted IDs.

Mapping involves doing the projection locally, whereas plucking will ask
MongoDB to do the projection for us.  This is the difference between
sending the whole document back and sending back the ObjectId itself.

Multipled against hundreds or thousands of documents, mapping can really
add up, so plucking should really help these 99%'ile cases.

Add more tracing + code cleanup.

Revert "Merge pull request #196 from edx/platform/upgrade-to-ruby23"

This reverts commit 22178086, reversing
changes made to 14ed8a85.

Upgrade to Ruby 2.3.0

Use proper relations instead of forcefully loading relations by hand.

Some of the ways comments are accessed in the User model (when a
complete user object is requested) lead to an N+1 situation because
while we preload the related documents (preloading the parent thread of
  a given comment, in this case), further accesses to those comments
  actually never take advantage of the preloaded relations.

We should be using the relation directly, which will still act the same
as before but allow us to actually benefit from preloading.

Wait 10s after starting ElasticSearch.

Now that MongoDB 3.0 seems to download/untar faster than 2.6, we seem to
be right over the line of how quickly ES can start up and be listening
for connections, which leads the tests to try and connect too quickly,
which fails.

By sleeping for 10 seconds after starting ElasticSearch, it's almost a
certainty it will be up and running by the time we try to first connect
to it.

Switch to using MongoDB 3.0 in tests.

Now that we're on MongoDB 3.0 in production, we should also be testing
with MongoDB 3.0.

Add message for rack config load.

Fix new relic traces.

Replaced Tire with elasticsearch-model

Updated the Mongoid configuration options

Updated the Mongoid configuration so that the read and write modes can
be specified via the `forum_env`.

Reduced merges, do them in place, and reduce allocations.
