MongoDB runs out of storage space

[clintonb]

Running edxapp tests creates a new database with every run. This leads to mongod shutting down due to lack of storage space. I fixed this by deleting all of the test databases.

db.getMongo().getDBNames().forEach(function(name) {
    if(name.match("^test")) { 
        db.getMongo().getDB( name ).dropDatabase();
    }
});

We should find a way to have the tests cleanup after themselves.

@edx/testeng how do we get around this issue for Vagrant-based devstacks?

@clintonb I've not heard of the issue before. Could be nobody had noticed. Dunno.

I suspect this may have been resolved by edx#52.

Correction: the database cleanup has not been resolved. Space issues have been mitigated.
