Title: Adds meaning to a featured category

The marketplace controller will send to the view a list of portlets considered "featured". Featured portlets are portlets that are in the category of "Featured". Here is the controller static variable:

(show root category preference name snuck in the screen shot).

Anything in this category will appear in the featured section in the marketplace list page. 1 featured portlet will be centered. 2 will appear side by side. 3 will appear as 1 in the middle, 2 side by side, etc. 0 featured portlets will result in this entire section not appearing. A set is returned to the view, so the ordering does switch.

I admit the whole display isn't particularly appealing. This is a starting point.

__NOTE__ the screenshots are from UW Madison's portal. A few things not affected by this pull request look different.

__2nd NOTE__ There was a discussion if constructing a featured portlet list should be part of the controller or should be in the service layer. Presented as being in the controller. Thoughts welcome.
