[Building Sakai] gradebook and gradebook2 iRubric integration

[Charles Severance]

The latest LTI code basically has a bunch of API calls that allow tools to make, manage and launch LTI placements under tool control.  This is in 2.9 and easily ported to 2.8 - the post-2.9 trunk code in LTI has a cleaned up UI and better integration with Site Info as well.

It is how we made LTI work as a core resource type in LessonBuilder.
