[Radiant] gallery extension

[Keith Bingman]

It is actually pretty different than attachment_fu. It doesn't require  
it's own model, just a few columns. It is a lot lighter weight. I  
actually like attachment_fu a lot, but it is a bit slow and it  
requires either RMagick, Mini_magick or Image Science, all of which  
are problematic. So I thought I would give it a try. So far, it seems  
nice, but I haven't really tried it in production yet.
