Proof of concept: adopt a real web frontend toolchain #3

RepoFunnel uses Django for consistency with Pulp (and because I like it), but Pulp doesn't have a real web UI (it's a network service only).

Since RepoFunnel is also closely related to COPR, it makes sense to model the design of the RepoFunnel web frontend on that of COPR.

After further investigation of the PatternFly ecosystem, the front end is going to be in AngularJS in order to be able to take advantage of https://github.com/patternfly/angular-patternfly

Katello (the Pulp+Foreman front end that's an upstream project for Red Hat Satellite 6+) is also AngularJS based: http://www.katello.org/developers/style/javascript.html

That's relevant as Katello's content views have a lot in common with RepoFunnel's merge funnels: http://www.katello.org/docs//user_guide/content_views/content_views.html

Katello's content management in general is comparable to the goals of RepoFunnel: http://www.katello.org/docs/user_guide/content/content.html

(The main difference between the two projects is that RepoFunnel aims to be one part of a larger software development pipeline, while Katello is an integration project designed to be usable directly as an operational deployment tool)
