Simplified module toggler for non-admins

[jvitello]

User story

As a site manager, I want to be able to enable and disable any optional component bundled with DKAN, including both DKAN-specific modules and supported "contrib" modules.

Background

We are going to skip adopting "apps" for now and add a simpler module enable/disable interface. Create an alternative to the admin/modules page that can be granted to people with lower-level permissions, and provide a clear, intuitive interface for it.

Additional Info from Dan

I have a pretty fleshed-out POC for this. I have created this module:

https://github.com/NuCivic/module_toggler

I designed it to be re-usable; there is nothing DKAN-specific in that module. The DKAN implementation happens in this hook in dkan_sitewide:

https://github.com/NuCivic/dkan/blob/module-toggler/modules/dkan/dkan_sitewide/dkan_sitewide.module#L260

Some additional styles are added to the theme here:

GetDKAN/nuboot_radix#51

You can see it all here:

http://module-toggler.dkan.qa.nuamsdev.com/admin/modules/toggle

The menu path and location in the admin menu should be under DKAN; not sure why that is not appearing.

Additional tests and documentation still needed. The interface itself works, though.

Obviously when we ship this, there would be no "unavailable" modules.

Sub-Tasks

• Write tests for module toggler
• Provide technical documentation for module toggler
• User documentation
• Add image support and images for modules
• Create final MVP module list
• Put module list into .ini or .yml file
