Investigate ability to set up front end interface for users to submit custom polygons #10

The idea is to ape the spatial-query functionality of plenar.io. If we could do this, then we could do custom aggregations of polygon-specific data in the back end that, for example, calculates employment rates for the areas "underneath" a polygon drawn by the user, using the combined number of labor force participants and number of employed, which are naturally produced (and consistently named) by our current code.
