Python API

It uses a meta-language and a CSharpCodeProvider on startup. I will
release a tutorial on the forums soon showing how to use it.

This commit also adds an extremely basic loading screen which shows
while Desktop is getting everything ready. Which can take a while
if you have any Python mods. Thanks, IronPython.
