[Radiant] adding shards regions

[Sean Cribbs]

Jim,

Right now it's based completely on controller and template name.  So if 
'developing' is another controller, you're fine.  Otherwise, it would 
require a major shift in the way that RegionSets are determined. 
However, you can override the controller name and template name by 
setting the appropriate instance variables @controller_name, 
@template_name, or even @region_set.  Have a look at 
Admin::RegionsHelper#lazy_initialize_region_set.
