1. If the setting isn't in the database, then the specified default is
returned.
2. If the setting IS in the database, then the 'value' field, from the
database, is returned; Unless, the value is null in the database, then
the defined default is returned.
* Take case 1. If the default=None then an AttributeError is raised
* Thus, by setting default='', in case 1. We don't get an AttributeError
because '' will be returned.
* Also note that we don't allow_null=True because then the database
entry could be None. Accessing the setting would raise an AttributeError
in this case. Further, since we set default='' it doesn't matter if null
is in the database.
TL;DR set default=<something_other_than_None>
* Register a default=function() with LOG_AGGREGATOR_TOWER_UUID. We know
this function will ONLY be called when there is no database backed
settings. Therefore, we set a one-time uuid at this time.
* The user is free to change LOG_AGGREGATOR_TOWER_UUID.
* The user may not set this field to null
* The user may not set this field to ''
