Subject: [PATCH] nmhive.py: Add GET /gmane/<group>/<int:article>

Gmane's download endpoint [1] doesn't allow cross-origin requests, and
article.gmane.org -> download.gmane.org is a cross-origin request [2].
Work around that with this proxy endpoint, which uses Flask-Cors [3]
to accept all origins.  The bookmarklet can figure out the current
message's group and article id, and hit this endpoint.  Then nmhive
will use Gmane's download endpoint to fetch the message as an mbox,
after which we can use Python's stdlib to extract the Message-ID from
the mbox, and return the extracted Message-ID to the bookmarklet.

Later on we can also add local caching and rate-limiting here, so we
don't bother Gmane more than necessary (the downloads are somewhat
expensive [1]).
