Upgrade checker

Contact: Ricardo Kirkner (pindonga)

The upgrade-checker API is part of the developer portal codebase, and will therefore be available at the myapps.developer.ubuntu.com domain. The API consists of a very simple resource that can be queried to retrieve the current version strings for any specified apps (by id).
