Site-builders should be able to use projects with composer dependencies

With composer an essential part of Drupal 8 many projects may now begin to specify composer dependencies. Site builders are often using shared hosting environments without command line access and/or without the ability to install composer.

As such - Drupal and Drupal.org needs to provide a way for site builders to use projects that specify composer dependencies.

This will likely require two components:

1. Something like project_browser on the user's Drupal website, that can communicate with Drupal.org to specify the modules/versions being used on the site. This should also be connected to the updates process.

2. On Drupal.org's back-end something to compile the modules/versions from a site and generate tar.gz packages with the appropriate dependencies for the site builder to upload.
