New web site feature: Remote skin change

Several people have been working websites that offer collections of Minecraft skins, where the user can upload and download skins. At least one of these have an automatic skin replacement feature, but that requires you to let that website know your minecraft password. This is obviously bad security, so I’ve added support for external web pages to trigger skin change requests:

http://www.minecraft.net/skin/remote.jsp

When you click a link like that, you’ll see your current skin and the new skin, and get to choose if you wish to switch skins or not.
