Title: Add reconciliation service based on Apache Stanbol

The [Apache Stanbol](http://incubator.apache.org/stanbol/ [EntityHub](http://incubator.apache.org/stanbol/docs/trunk/entityhub/) provides efficient access to entities' indexes. Since the latest version implements the Reconciliation Service API, it could be used in Google Refine for an effective reconciliation.

The [LMF extension for Google Refine](http://code.google.com/p/lmf/wiki/GoogleRefineExtension) already implemented the addition of such services:

But maybe it could be interesting for a wider audience, allowing to all users of the main RDF extension to have such feature.

These commits implement such feature. The code actually comes from the LMF extension, therefore should be removed from there as soon as this pull request would be accepted.
