API: support for the webapp #284

@matzf

Description

@matzf

The scion-apps webapp (to be renamed to ... netsec-ethz/scion-apps#108 ?), is an application that can be run by SCIONLab users on the VM running their AS.
For it's functionality, it requires:

  • AS labels
  • AS geo coordinates
  • list of bandwidth test servers

This information is currently scraped from various ancient sources.
Additionally, some API keys (and certain URLs to scrape the above information from), are retrieved from a tiny central web service (see netsec-ethz/scion-apps#146), to avoid storing them in clear text in the public webapp source code and to allow centralized updates to the keys.

Add APIs to support retrieving this information from scionlab.org directly.
