Title: Status images

Directly inspired by Travis-CI, I've added status images to use in repo README files.

If you access `/:project_name.png', you'll get a "pass", "fail", or "unknown" graphic back.

This allows you to add the following URL to your project's GitHub README.md file:

[![Build Status](https://YOUR_GS_SERVER/my_project.png)][http://CI_SERVER/jobs/my_project]

That way, anyone that loads the repo will instantly see the status of the project from within GitHub and will be able to link to the CI server, in the event of a failure, to read more.

For long-living branches, the README will have to be temporarily updated to point to the appropriate URL for that branch/project if you wish to known its status separate from master.
