Dan McGee 97d1e4164b Connect post_save signals where they will always be triggered
We need to do this in the models.py files, otherwise the post_save signal
might not be connected right away on launch of the application. Move them
over there, add a dispatch_uid so it only gets hooked up once, and do some
other function moving around so we don't have circular imports.

A variant of the snippet posted by Jeff Wheeler at

Caches a function, using the function and its arguments as the key, and the
return value as the value saved. It passes all arguments on to the
function, as it should.
The decorator itself takes a length argument, which is the number of
seconds the cache will keep the result around.
