    Initialize global data separately and run_once in WSGI app init

    NOTE(melwitt): This is a combination of two changes to avoid
    intermittent test failure that was introduced by the original bug fix,
    and was fixed by change I2bd360dcc6501feea7baf02d4510b282205fc061.

    We have discovered that if an exception is raised at any point during
    the running of the init_application WSGI script in an apache/mod_wsgi
    Daemon Mode environment, it will prompt apache/mod_wsgi to re-run the
    script without starting a fresh python process. Because we initialize
    global data structures during app init, subsequent runs of the script
    blow up as some global data do *not* support re-initialization. It is
    anyway not safe to assume that init of global data is safe to run
    multiple times.

    This mod_wsgi behavior appears to be a special situation that does not
    behave the same as a normal reload in Daemon Mode as the script file is
    being reloaded upon failure instead of the daemon process being
    shutdown and restarted as described in the documentation [1].

    In order to handle this situation, we can move the initialization of
    global data structures to a helper method that is decorated to run only
    once per python interpreter instance. This way, we will not attempt to
    re-initialize global data that are not safe to init more than once.

    NOTE(melwitt): The conflict is because change

    app) is not in Victoria.

    Reset global wsgi app state in unit test

    Since I2bd360dcc6501feea7baf02d4510b282205fc061 there is a global state
    set during the wsgi_app init making our unit test cases
    non-deterministic based on the order of them. This patch makes sure
    that the global state is reset for each test case.
