Title: Remote render nodes [Incomplete]

Here is some code that allows for render nodes to be outside of the network. I think FTP and MySQL authentication should be secure enough. The code only works fully on windows. Remote mac render nodes will upload frames over FTP, but they will not sync the blend folders. (Finding a suitable replacement for WinSCP on mac has been troublesome). This is completely disabled by default and, as noted in the code, is still highly experimental.

I made a fork and pull request on this one because this is a more major addition and I would like to make sure I have your approval before adding it.
