Title: Data Uploading (batch/bulk/whatever)

When a user selects the `Database Manipulation-->Upload (in bulk)` navigation item, they're presented with a modal that allows them to select multiple `.csv` files.

Once they've selected them and click the `import` button, a separate process is started in the background that uses our `Importer` class to parse each triplet of .csv files relating to the same gene.

The corresponding view checks every 5 seconds to see if the parsing has finished and lets the user know if it has (or if an error occured).

In order for this to work, a separate process needs to be running behind the scenes. To set this up, just run `rake jobs:work` from the command line--it's a good idea to do this before starting the rails server so you don't forget.
