This patch set makes providers more customizable wrt where the data they care about is laid out on the filesystem.
This allows us to: - ship executable files in in /usr/lib/$provider/ - ship data files in /usr/share/$provider/data - ship jobs files in /usr/share/$provider/jobs - ship whitelists files in /usr/share/$provider/whitelists - ship translations in /usr/share/locale/LC_MESSAGES/$language/$provider.mo Jobs and whitelists are not customizable but we can now point the base location at /usr/share/$provider and take advantage of implicit values for jobs_dir and whitelists_dir Locale data is actually a bit special as we can just point it to /usr/share/locale and the rest will be done by gettext. By having this property we can build local translation files and use it in practice when we use `manage.py develop` on a provider. Tell me if you think I should add more tests or if I should make jobs/whitelits explicit (and perhaps remove all the implicitness from Provider1 entirely, moving all of the defaults to Provider1Definition.
