[super] Administrative dashboard extension

[rgrp]

Create an admin dashboard as /ckan-admin/ allowing for admin operations and overview.

Possible features:

• Purge revisions (or sets of revisions) and purge objects #1076
• Set roles for users #1075
• Put system into particular modes e.g. wiki mode (anyone can add, edit packages by default), data portal (only sysadmins or members of a special Editor group can create and edit packages)
  • WONTFIX
• Overview of activity
  • WONTFIX - already have revision log

Currently have an admin section using the formalchemy admin controller to provide basic editing of model objects. This can still be used but located at /admin/model/.

Notes

Here's putting into restricted mode (plus creating a dedicated authz group so that others can admin sysadmin simply through that group):

# first remove permissions from roles
# this is hacky but have to do it because we hardcode assignment of 
# role permissions on package on package create (see model/authz.py)
paster roles deny editor edit
paster roles deny editor create-authorization-group
paster roles deny editor create-group
paster roles deny editor create-package
paster roles deny reader create-package
# make superuser group
# create authz group administrators / Administrators (if not exists)
paster rights make agroup:administrators admin system
