Add Flickr Functionality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From attached patch file "patch -p0 -i flickr.diff" (created against 
revision r974)
2. Under "Site Configuration" add your Flickr User ID (not user name) and API 
key (see http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Using this patch allows users to quickly add images from an existing Flickr 
account. It does not, however, allow users to manage (add, remove, etc) their 
Flickr account.

Picasa leaves EXIF data intact by default, while Flickr strips this information 
and provides it onsite instead. Also, Flickr has a more lenient upload limits 
based on a monthly allowance instead of a strict ceiling.

As a note, the Flckr terms of use forbid it's use for web graphics or for 
commercial purposes. 

Would it be possible to deploy this functionality as an optional plugin?

I'm -1 on making this part of the stock application, since Flckr's terms of use 
are so strict, and we should not encourage misuse of other people's software.

Flickr allows you to choose from two keys; a non-commercial one (which still 
allows one to "build a personal website or blog where you are only using your 
own images.") and a commercial one that allows one to do so while charging or 
making money.

However, I'm sure it's possible to roll this into a plugin...
