    Couple of new DB tables and libraries for them: · b0c5f6e9

    1. web_tasks: This table is to track background processes that we
       start either from the web interface or from the protogeni XMLRPC
       interface. The goal is to not have a bunch of task specific stuff
       in tables, but a more general way to start a process tied to an
       object (say, like taking an image) and record state of the process
       in the descriptor (say, the image size as it grows). A client can
       poll for info about the process; the server just looks for the task
       descriptor associated with the object and returns the (currently)
       adhoc data in JSON format to the client.
    
       Work in progress, still determining if this general approach is
       worth it.
    
    2. web_sessions: Playing with real PHP sessions, using the DB to store
       the session data (instead of the default, which is data files in
       /var/run). No idea how I am going to use this one, just want to
       play with sessions.
