validate Heroku to enable the sendgrid and memcachier addons #4

This app tries to use Mandrill (for email) and Memcachier (for caching), but neither can be enabled unless the Heroku account is validated with a credit card.

Lacking Memcachier is not big deal. The app is slower and the logs are noisy.

Lacking Mandrill means we can't send emails to manage user registration. This makes it harder for people to contribute service data.

I don't know what the CfM policy is for Heroku apps that require credit card validation.

Mandrill has shutdown its services so might want to look to sendgrid?
