1297684 - Force LocMemCache cache in tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Before we used python-decouple to do settings, we used test-utils which had the trick of always loading the contents of a `test_settings.py` file last. Problem was that if you had memcache in settings/base.py it didn't matter if test_settings.py set `CACHES = {'default': {'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache'}}` because of how Django loads things. 

So we had to rely on documenting (but failing) and telling people to set their local caching to be LocMemCache. 

Now we have a crashstats/settings/test.py file and this will be loaded before django configures the cache backend.
