Refactor the sidebar to use Django templates
With this change the html for the sidebar is no longer generated by
Melange, instead it's delegated to Django (which is what it does
best anyway). The downside is that it is no longer possible to have
arbitrary deeply nested menu's.

Transaction middleware. If this is enabled, each view function will be run
with commit_on_response activated - that way a save() doesn't do a direct
