We need an admin tool for quickly removing unwanted descriptions from circulation #60

We need a way of removing unwanted descriptions. For example, there are already 
a number of videos that include only test audio clips such as Steve's "the 
difference between vectors and scalors."

As new describers sign up and record descriptions, the need for a quick way of 
removing unwanted content from circulation will only become more important. 

If done right, the tool should leave all clips in the system, but somehow set a 
flag for that video as being private, unpublished, or otherwise not for general 
consumption. I believe we already have a flag for this purpose in the database. 

We should make sure that the API is respecting this flag.

In the short term, we need a way of simply turning off all clips associated 
with a particular describer. This will let them go back and record a real 
description if they want.

The long-term plan clearly requires more discussion of Admins, admin 
privileges, description permissions, etc. For the short-term, we will need a 
way for privileged users such as us to remove unwanted descriptions from the 
public view.
