There is very little server-side container implemented in Shindig at
the moment.  I'm taking a first pass at it.  Feedback on the approach
is welcome:

- user logs in to the container
- container uses the GadgetServer to render the gadget in 'Container'
mode (which doesn't do much at the moment)
- container uses GadgetSigner (which I'm renaming to
GadgetTokenSigner) to create the security token for the gadget
- container creates an iframe that passes in the security token like
this: <iframe src='/gadgets/ifr?url=<gadget>&mid=<module-id>#st=<the
security token>
- GadgetServer behind /gadgets/ifr works its magic to render the gadget.
- gadgets.io javascript pulls security token out of the URL.
- gadgets.io javascripts passes security token as
X-Gadget-Security-Token in XHR requests to the JSON proxy.

Cheers,
Brian
