byobu-classroom should scale

[Mark Mims]

add multinode support

[Mark Mims (mark-mims)]

Just a reminder:

- use a head

- byobu-classroom peers have a leader running the primary screen... other peers simply change init scripts to redirect to the master upon guest login

Another note, because we don't know at start time if we are multi-node or not, need to add a multi-node config option which delays starting ajaxterm and apache until at least one peer relationship is established. This will prevent people being exposed to an ajaxterm which shows the ssh to localhost instead of the "leader" node.
