indexDB storage provider assumes module context

[willscott]

indexDB does not seem to be uniformly available in module contexts.
Namely, it does not exist in a safe way to use for either firefox extensions or in node sandboxes.

As such, if we need indexDB as distinct from core.storage, we should consider what that means, but implement it as a core provider if needed.

The current setup as a module, rather than a core provider indicates that the module context is currently too porous.

Agreed this needs to be refactored. Pending on #110

Okay. Talked with Will. The gameplan is to fix #208 first.
Then update the core.storage interface to support both strings and buffers.
The code for this indexDB provider will become the new provider for core.storage in freedom.
Added to 0.7 milestone
