A new "put" mode is added to the pk command, so that the "pk put"
command can be used to create and upload blobs.
What this command does is actually just call the previously named
"camput" executable, which is renamed to "pk-put" in this change.
This involves adding a new way to register a mode in cmdmain, when such
a mode is just meant to call an external binary. To emphasize the
distinction, the existing func (to register a sub-command, or a mode) is
renamed from RegisterCommand to RegisterMode, and RegisterCommand is now
the name of the new func/way.

DBNames is supposed to provide configuration for the various databases
names. However,
1) I contend that nobody needs or wants to configure them as long as we
provide sane defaults.
2) it seems the only obvious user we have for this is to set up some of
the names on GCE.
3) having another external source for names complicates the code
further, especially when we already have the distinction between
database names for DBMS and file names for file-based databases.
4) writing a correct documentation for it is awkward.
Therefore, in this CL, I propose that we remove DBNames. Instead,
genconfig.go now sets some consistent default names for the various
queues and indexes set up on a DBMS (MySQL, PostGres, Mongo). To that
end, we introduce the new, but optional, DBUnique configuration
parameter, that is used as a part of all the database names, in order to
be able to run several Perkeep instances on the same DBMS, without name
conflicts.
In addition, the queue for the bs->index synchandler is now set up on
the same DBMS that is already in use for the index itself, instead of
using a file-base database.
And i think we could proceed likewise for the other queues.

These improvements on the server app handler should help writing
and running stand-alone apps.
The two main goals are:
1) "simple" configurations should work automatically; the parameters for
the app are derived from the Listen and BaseURL of the Camlistore
server.
2) More advanced configurations, such as being behind a proxy, should be
easily configurable through the app's Listen, BackendURL, and ApiHost
parameters.
I had worked on them while doing the scanning cabinet app, and I am
backporting them now since we haven't landed the scanning cabinet yet,
and people have been having trouble setting up the publisher.
pkg/app/app_test.go is gone because app.ListenAddress is now dumb. The
hard work is done in pkg/server/app instead.

GitHub treats the CONTRIBUTING file special, in that it is referenced
any time someone files a new issue or starts to create a pull request.
Also make minor updates to file to use markdown and current hacking
instructions.
