[sakai-pmc] Sakai support for better OOTB integration with uPortal

[Steve Swinsburg]

It will be done in the sample data load activated on sakai.demo=true

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-25267

I've also created a Jira to move the mercury site into the demo load and
remove from normal build - that was suggested before. No one knows what
mercury is and why its not called 'test site'... Comments in the ticket:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-25268
