* NOTE: successfully running the tests depends on an updated version of
  django-pipeline, which fixes a unicode bug (https://github.com/MITx/django-pipeline/commit/efaba4ac63bc635da6a728603e87e14758541ec7)

Config changes:
* Use separate db for the cms
* Run collectstatic before running tests--needed to get everything in the right place for loading pages
* fix some paths related to this
* Turn off JS compressor for CMS
* add empty test_root/uploads dir

Code changes:
* Add cms tests to check that home page and signup pages load
* Add cms account creation test
* Make github sync tests clean out repo dirs before running.
