Add RemoteTemplate resource to fetch remote templates

[csrwng]

We need to be able to fetch a template in the UI from a user-supplied URL. This PR does that via a virtual resource that points to the location of the template.

@jwforres FYI

@smarterclayton - this is to allow the UI to fetch remote templates you specify by URL. Please take a look when you get some time.

[smarterclayton]

Did you add using local templates yet? We should probably wire that up first and validate the experience is right.

By local I meant "stored on the current Openshift server" not filesystem local

Yup, templates from the openshift server do work with my create page.

[smarterclayton]

I mean in new app.

Why isn't the client doing this?

[smarterclayton]

I'm uncomfortable with the OpenShift server making the request on the user's behalf - it has lots of issues. In some environments, the server won't be able to make external network calls. Also, it becomes an avenue for a client to make OpenShift act as a proxy and make malicious calls.

[csrwng]

The client isn't doing this because the request is going to be to a different domain.

[smarterclayton]

So this is a proxy that can be used to make the master contact arbitrary remote servers and download arbitrary amounts of data? I'd rather just drop this feature for now than deal with those headaches.

Well, the data has to be something that can be deserialized into a valid template. So it's not necessarily arbitrary, but yeah you can always do this from the CLI.

[smarterclayton]

I mean, I could have a server that generates 3 GB of JSON cheaply and bring down the openshift server
