Optimize test subject information entry.

[jbrukh]

Add a table for test subject metadata.

Test subjects are not usually users of the site (but they could be). Each test subject can be used in multiple trials of the same experiment, or various experiments. When a trial is run, this table will provide easy selection of test subjects. Basic info includes name, gender, age, income, location.

Eventual complexities/generalizations:

• Subjects will probably need to be grouped, as users bucket test subjects into focus groups or source them from various test locations or times.
• Relevant demographic info will eventually vary by experiment. Solution might be pre-programmed informational profiles -- under no circumstances do we want a JIRA here.
• Facebook integration?

My plan is to use hstore (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/hstore.html) for attributes.

Wow, that is cool.
