RethinkDB support

[zbyte64]

If a pull request was sent to add RethinkDB support, would it be accepted (assuming it is up to par)?

I found a gist that implements support though it would need to be adapted to conform to how it is done in datastores.py: https://gist.github.com/BrianHicks/9054310

This seems like a nice addition. There's currently a pending pull request for Pony ORM, and it seems that the only rejected datastore addition was for a proprietary and fully managed datastore. RethinkDB is open source with official Python support, so I don't see many arguments against it.

It looks likes I will need to modify .travis.yml to install rethinkdb:

I've started work on a little thing that allows Flask-Security to be used with RethinkDB with Schematics supplying the model definitions, figured I'd post it here for those interested in using RethinkDB with Flask-Security. It's working, but still considered pre-alpha so if anyone wants to contribute they'd be more than welcome.

Update, it's now on PyPI if you fancy trying it out: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/frink
