We need to create the glue between the SyncManager and the Sync app.

SyncManager uses a simple IAC based API to request a Sync when the requestSync timer expires or the user requests a sync on demand. We need to implement this API on the Sync app.

Related to this, in bug 1204432 I drafted an `App.handleRequest` function here:

https://github.com/michielbdejong/gaia/blob/1204432-sync-app-lazyloader/apps/sync/js/app.js

It does:
* the lazy loading of main scripts
* the lazy loading of the necessary DataAdapters
* the call to the SyncEngine constructor
* the call to SyncEngine#syncNow

Maybe this glue code can make the call to `App.handleRequest(request)`, where `request` could contain:
* assertion {String}
* keys {Object with kA: String, kB: String}
* collections {Array of strings}
* URL (of the Syncto server) {String}
* email (of the current user) {String}
Actually, we don't need email, we can use xClientState as a unique identifier of the current user. So only assertion, keys, collections, and URL.

Works for me if I:
* build Mulet with the Gecko fix from bug 1210725
* cat build/config/custom-settings.json 
{
  "sync.server.url": "http://localhost:8000/v1/"
}
* Untick 'passwords' in the Settings app before clicking 'Sync now' (opened bug 1210804 about that)

Awesome! :)

PS: I did find some funny states btw, for instance, I can't disable sync while a sync request is in progress. We can do more testing and bug filing&fixing about such things next Sprint.
Thanks!
