[sakai2-tcc] Sakai support for better OOTB integration with uPortal

[Matthew Jones]

I don't think we should add anything else new by default. If you want to
add new stuff (users or sites) to the demo provider or demo startup that's
fine with me though. All QA and test instances start up using the demo
property.

I think it would be better if mercury site was created by this demo class
too rather than the sql scripts, and I personally rarely use the mercury
site, so the only thing that happened OOTB was the admin user creation.
This just isn't cleanup that ever happened.
