Bye Resque. Ohai Sidekiq.

* Dropped all references to Resque
* Moved all jobs under app/workers since that's the Sidekiq convention
* Renamed Jobs module to Worker to match new location
* Adapted all jobs to Sidekiq
* Replaced all enqueue calls with perform_async
* Dropped Resque hacks from specs and features, replaced with
  sidekig/testing in RSpec and sidekig/testing/inline in Cucumber
* Updated scripts to start a Sidekiq server
* Inline Sidekiq sinatra app
* Let Sidekiq create the actual Redis instance
* Workaround already initialized constant warnings in service models
* Resolved ToDo in one job definition by creating proper exception clases
  for some errors in receiving posts
* Added sidekiq section to configuration to make it completly
  configurable to the user
* Add Sidekiq middleware for clean backtraces
* Delay HttpMulti retry to give offline pods a chance to come back up
* Do not retry on GUID already taken and alike errors
* Be graceful about deleted posts in GatherOEmbedData

+## Refactor
+
+### Replaced Resque with Sidekiq - Migration guide - [#3993](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/pull/3993)
+
+We replaced our queue system with Sidekiq. You might know that Resque needs Redis.
+Sidekiq does too, so don't remove it, it's still required. Sidekiq uses a threaded
+model so you'll need far less processes than with Resque to do the same amount
+of work.
+
+To update do the following:
+
+1. Before updating (even before the `git pull`!) stop your application
+   server (Unicorn by default, started through Foreman).
+2. In case you did already run `git pull` checkout v0.0.3.2:
+   
+   ```
+   git fetch origin
+   git checkout v0.0.3.2
+   bundle
+   ```
+   
+3. Start Resque web (you'll need temporary access to port 5678, check
+   your Firewall if needed!):
+   
+   ```
+   bundle exec resque-web
+   ```
+   
+   In case you need it you can adjust the port with the `-p` flag.
+4. One last time, start a Resque worker:
+   
+   ```
+   RAILS_ENV=production QUEUE=* bundle exec rake resque:work
+   ```
+
+   Visit Resque web via http://your_host:5678, wait until all queues but the
+   failed one are empty (show 0 jobs).
+5. Kill the Resque worker by hitting Ctrl+C. Kill Resque web with:
+   
+   ```
+   bundle exec resque-web -k
+   ```
+
+   Don't forget to close the port on the Firewall again, if you had to open it.
+6. In case you needed to do step 2., run:
+   
+   ```
+   git checkout master
+   bundle
+   ```
+
+7. Proceed with the update as normal (migrate database, precompile assets).
+8. Before starting Diaspora again ensure that you reviewed the new
+   `environment.sidekiq` section in `config/diaspora.yml.example` and,
+   if wanted, transfered it to your `config/diaspora.yml` and made any
+   needed changes. In particular increase the `environment.sidekiq.concurrency`
+   setting on any medium sized pod. If you do change that value, edit
+   your `config/database.yml` and add a matching `pool: n` to your database
+   configuration. n should be equal or higher than the amount of
+   threads per Sidekiq worker. This sets how many concurrent
+   connections to the database ActiveRecord allows.
+
+
+If you aren't using `script/server` but for example passenger, you no
+longer need to start a Resque worker, but a Sidekiq worker now. The
+command for that is:
+
+```
+bundle exec sidekiq
+```
+
+
+#### Heroku
+
+The only gotcha for Heroku single gear setups is that the setting name
+to spawn a background worker from the unicorn process changed. Run
+
+```
+heroku config:remove SERVER_EMBED_RESQUE_WORKER
+heroku config:set SERVER_EMBED_SIDEKIQ_WORKER=true
+```
+
+We're automatically adjusting the ActiveRecord connection pool size for you.
+
+Larger Heroku setups should have enough expertise to figure out what to do
+by them self.
