Deploying an application to PlanetLab

First, make sure that everything is installed and that conf/auth.ini and conf/odin.ini exists and contain the right settings.

Then, Odin can be used as follows python odin.py flags [--git-branch BRANCH --starting-state PATH_TO_JSON_FILE --non-selfstab --reuse-hosts] deploy|cleanup

After deploying, run CTRL + C in the same shell and Odin will kill off the running processes started by the user on the nodes.
