A new optional, configurable subservice that provides a JSON API service for interfacing with the shipgate.
This API should allow for account creation, deletion, management, querying ship and block information, etc. It should require the shipgate password (or future authentication mechanism) to interact with, such that another API sits in front could provide further authentication or controlled exposure to data (i.e., a second API shim written by the end user that allows public access to certain shipgate information, but limited access to mutating functions).
