Change Request - Change transifex to run under the transifex user

This should be a pretty safe security change to make transifex run under
the separate transifex user, instead of the apache user.  I've tested it
out on publictest14.

The django transifex isn't 100% in puppet yet, so here are the steps I'd
like to take:

mv ~ricky/tx.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
mv /var/www/.ssh /var/lib/transifex
chown -R transifex:transifex /var/lib/transifex/.ssh
find /var/lib/transifex -user apache -exec chown transifex:transifex {} \;
mv ~ricky/ssh-add.sh /var/lib/transifex
# restart ssh-agent to run under the transifex user

Here's the diff between my edited tx.conf and the original one:
