This changeset pulls in all of the notification_utils code directly into the API and removes it as an external dependency. We are doing this to cut down on operational maintenance of the project and will begin removing parts of it no longer needed for the API.

Reflects the new name of the feature.
Note that the name of the underlying table hasn’t changed because it’s
explicitly set to `service_whitelist`. Changing this will be a more
involved process.
By serialising these straight away we can:
- not go back to the database later, potentially closing the connection
sooner
- potentially cache the serialised data, meaning we don’t touch the
database at all
The whitelist was built to help developers and designers making
prototypes to do realistic usability testing of them, without having to
go through the whole go live process.
These users are sending messages using the API. The whitelist wasn’t
made available to users uploading spreadsheets. The users sending one
off messages are similar to those uploading spreadsheets, not those
using the API. Therefore they shouldn’t be able to use the whitelist to
expand the range of recipients they can send to.
Passing the argument through three methods doesn’t feel that great, but
can’t think of a better way without major refactoring…
- moved get_current_financial_year_start_year from service.utils to dao.date_utils
- Moved logic for data persistence from rest to dao when updating records in db
NotificationStatistics was added as a spike but didn't work out as expected. This is finally removing all that unused code.
I'll drop the table in the next PR
There is an overlap between team key/trial mode/whitelist. But it’s not
a complete overlap. So it’s hard to understand all the different
permutations of which key lets you send to which people when.
This commit tries to reduce the differences between these concepts. So
for a user of the API
**In trial mode**
- You can send to anyone in your team or whitelist, using the team key
- You can simulate sending to anyone, using the simulate key
**When you’re live**
- You can send to anyone in your team or whitelist, using the team key
- You can simulate sending to anyone, using the simulate key
- You can send to anyone with the live key
So doing a `git diff` on that list, the only difference between being in
trial mode and live mode is now:
`+` You can send to anyone with the live key
**(How trial mode used to work)**
- You can send to anyone in your team or whitelist, using the normal key
- You can simulate sending to anyone, using the simulate key
- You can send to _just_ people in your team using the team key
