Supporter may provide a one-off payment to a Project #64

In order to raise funding every once in a while for one-off things, as a creator I'd like to receive one off financial support.

Some Context

One thing I've noticed watching Kortney Zeigler (of TransHack) and @BlakeDon'tCrack (Organizes People's Breakfast Oakland) is they will ask for Square Cash every once in a while to fund what they're doing/needing. This use case makes a lot of sense, as I would guess many people can't justify a recurring subscription, but could justify a few bucks here or there.

This would also be a way to demonstrate end-to-end payments without having to worry about the stripe subscription API/callbacks just yet; which may make it a simpler card to play before we get into subscription land.

I really like the idea of prioritizing this. I extra like it because it forces us to decouple payments from subscriptions early, and IME it is ONLY TO THE GOOD if we decouple things payments & recurrence schedules & rewards from the domain concept of a "contribution" because users are going to want unanticipatable patterns there. (not going for an abstract domain model there so much as going for a precise one with lots of names and as little overloading as possible)
