Create a custom Pickle Serializer

Update codejail.

We need to do this because when I tride to go to the JSON serializer a
bunch of tests started failing because various parts of our code are
putting things into the session that are not JSON serializable.

We can't keep using the default pickle serializer because it defaluts to
using the highest available protocol and that will cause issues with the
python 2 to 3 upgrade since both will be running in production at the
same time.  We need to use a version of the pickle protocol that both
can use interchangably.

We also need to make sure we read with latin1 encoding to make datetimes
work correctly between the two versions of python.

Set cache pickle protocol to 2.

Changes are here:

Develop the capability to allow instructors to designate teams to have private discussions. This way, so non-teammembers cannot view discussion. And the intend is for course teams to manage the team membership as well.

Activation email to ace

Show Display Name advanced field again

Open a file in read binary mode to avoid bytes issues.

HIGHEST_PROTOCOL will cause it to change when we move from python 2 to 3
and this may cause issues as older machines try to read objects pickeld
with a version of the protocol they don't know.

During deploys, and if we have to roll back are two examples.

We had hidden it when using Publisher. But there are valid use
cases for editing it, so we're adding it back again.

DISCO-1390

Open a file in read binary mode to avoid bytes issues.

This will force a logout as sessions fail to load but this should be a
more performant and secure serializer moving forward.  The reason we
overwrote it in our config is that it previously used to be the default
and we didn't want things to breake and force logouts when we changed
it.  We're no more okay with people getting logged out.
