[Building Sakai] CKEditor & Spelling correction.

[John Bush]

The google one doesn't require a third party install or any costs.  The
library is Apache 2.0, and the only risk is that the google service is
unavailable (in which case you just won't get any corrections, which seems
like low risk considering the use case, and the provider is google).
 Another advantage is that it has decent i18n support out of the gate, its
capturing the sakai locale from ResourceLoader and sending that over to the
google call, and Kevin already built it, so its ready to go.
