Create basic RCloud API for python #2671

It's not obvious how to get an asset in Python (say, to load some data or code). Best solution so far is to add an R cell which loads it and writes it to temp file, but this shouldn't be necessary.

We should have an "rcloud" module available in Python, with at least rcloud.get_notebook_id() and rcloud.get_asset(). The latter is obvious once you have the former.
