Feature: enhance the gateways to handle syncing services like DropBox #13

InDesign Server is often used as a remote service, where the need for the service and the service are separated.

To send files and data to IDS, we can use a common file server, or some file transfer mechanism.

Syncing systems like DropBox, OneDrive, ownCloud, NextCloud... are not well supported, because it is hard to determine when a while folder structure is completely transferred - IDS cannot start processing a job until all files have been retrieved.

The Tightener gateways could easily be enhanced to handle triggering a 'transfer complete' event to start the processing once a job has been fully synced.
