[Bf-python] Blender Cloud Sync Add-on

[Jonathan Giroux]

Some large applications have switched towards putting user prefs "on the
cloud" for UX purposes. It makes sense to make such a system for Blender.
However I believe Blender cultivates the hack spirit, and trying to put
user information remotely would be seen as a strong privacy violation,
especially in these days.

Personally I'm using ownCloud to do this, I'm even thinking about
versioning it with git.
