For purposes of automating the provisioning, updating, etc of the Android application, and for purposes of debugging/testing code during development, this PR adds an SSH server (via twisted conch manhole) that runs within the app and allows incoming SSH connections to be dropped into a Python interpreter running within the context of the app. This allows arbitrary Kolibri code to be run (Django ORM,
run_commandetc) as well as other jnius-based system operations (within the app's permission scope).
