This PR adds a local server that can execute store_data.application based on an HTTP-request, ususally from a browser.

The server is started with (if cwd is the root of the project):

python tools/local_server.py

It serves at http://local_host:8000. By copying entry.html to entry_local.html and changing theformaction attribute in entry_local.html to http://localhost:8000/store_data, you can use your browser on entry_local.html to test the behavior of store_data.application.

This PR is geared toward a unixy system, i.e. it assumes that a writable /tmp-directory exists. It also assumes:

datalad is in your path
/tmp/sfb-test exists and is a datalad dataset
/tmp/sfb-test-home exists and is a writeable directory
