Add support for simple FS-based directory listing to Insight

The content of this page is now Requirement:  http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/ticket/1933

The content below has been left in place temporarily until a shoola requirement is created.

Description

Using file repository services and OMERO.fs to avoid data duplication. As an initial step for FS/bioformats-based IO, the Repository API should be made usable by clients.

Related to Manage Distributed Repositories

Usage

import omero
c = omero.client("localhost")
s = c.createSession("root","ome")
sr = s.sharedResources()
rm = sr.repositories()
print [x.name.val for x in rm.descriptions]
