Added Celery for background tasks.

The implementation is still rather simple, using hard-coded configuration
values. This will change in subsequent commits.

The worker can be started with "manage.py operations worker". Celery
Worker CLI options can be passed after a double dash, like this:

    ./manage.py operations worker -- -C -E
