We want to add a feature for clients (the web UI), where they can select
a bunch of files and ask the server for a zip archive of all these files.
This CL modifies the DownloadHandler so it does exactly that upon
reception of a POST request with a query parameter of the form
files=sha1-foo,sha1-bar,sha1-baz
This CL also adds a new button to the contextual sidebar of the web UI,
that takes care of sending the download request to the server.
known limitations: only permanodes with file as camliContent are
accepted as a valid selection (i.e. no sets, or static-dirs, etc) for
now.
Implementation detail:
We're creating an ephemeral DOM form on the fly to send the request.
The reason is: if we sent it as a Go http request, we'd have to read
the response manually and then we'd have no way of writing it to disk.
If we did it with an xhr, we could write the response to disk by
creating a File or Blob and then using URL.createObjectURL(), but we'd
have to keep the response in memory while doing so, which is
unacceptable for large enough archives.

This change adds an "About" entry to the header menu, that pops up an
"About" dialog when clicked on.
But, under this innocent sounding feature is actually a more important
change: this feature is partly added through the use of gopherjs
generated code. In addition, the element added (a menu item) is
integrated
seamlessly into the menu as a React element, thanks to the use of
github.com/myitcv/gopherjs/react.
pkg/env had to be broken with build tags, because importing
"cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata" (or one of its deps) seems to be
breaking the generated javascript.
