Feanil Patel bfc02dc3ab Create custom pickle serializer.
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.

Open edX
--------

This is the root package for Open edX. The intent is that all importable code
from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms,
and common directories.

If you're adding a new Django app, place it in core/djangoapps. If you're adding
utilities that require Django, place them in core/djangolib.  If you're adding
code that defines no Django models or views of its own but is widely useful, put it
in core/lib.

Note: All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will
be moved here gradually. For now the code is not structured like this, and hence
legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages.
