Pyro connections are unauthenticated #13

As things currently are set up, if we enable external connections (chimera
-H ip.address.goes.here), anyone who wants to (and has a copy of chimera)
could connect and request that chimera do stuff.

Before I could, recommend this system for production use, we must implement
some sort of access control. At the least, we should support IP-based
security (eg: prevent unknown subnets) and passphrase access (shared
secret). This can be done by creating a custom validator as notated on in
the pyro documentation: http://pyro.sourceforge.net/manual/9-security.html
