Add content-hub support #61

Every time I've looked at the content hub documentation in the past, For the record, Beru is perfectly happy to read books from ~/Books, or |

I got a chance to talk with Ken Vandine about this, and unfortunately the Content Hub isn't ready for us yet. There are two issues:

If you add an import handler then things downloaded from the browser can be passed to beru. However it may pass you .mobi or other "ebooks" which you don't support, in which case you'll need to error appropriately. |

I've written a little importer as a test, but it doesn't work with How can I tell if the EBooks content type has made it into the devel |
In preparation for Content Hub imports, we need a way to see if a given file has already been imported. Refs #61.
It should support multiple imports, but I haven't had a chance to test that. The import dialog probably won't be that useful in that case, especially if there are errors. The import dialog generaly doesn't show as soon as it should, since the import processing happens before it has a chance to draw the dialog on the screen. Refs #61.
There is now a separate import page which lists the imports and their states, and lets the user open them. Refs #61.

Beru now supports imports. Export support will wait for a little. |
One of the features I'd love to see is to be able to get files into Beru more easily using content hub.
A good example app is pdfjs https://github.com/bobo1993324/pdfjsViewer which can load in PDF files via the file manager. Would be great if Beru could call out to the file manager to pull files into the Beru directory, files that have been selected by the user. These could have been dragged/dropped onto the phone via MTP or that have been put on an SD card and inserted (for devices which support this) :)
(of course it would be more ideal if we had an ~/Books folder which was read directly, but in lieu of that)
