722894 - Move testfailure-caching updating to separate script

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management Graveyard :: OrangeFactor, defect)

Description

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

Right now the testfailures call normally returns cached data, but with the updatecache=1 parameter, it retrieves the data and caches it.  It is intended that a cron job use this parameter periodically.

We should move this to a script and get rid of the updatecache parameter because this is a memory-intensive task.  Separating it will (a) move the memory to the client script, which need not be on the same machine as the server, and (b) prevent random users from triggering this action.

Also moved some hard-coded config variables into a config file; see orangefactor.conf.example.
