Structured data operations support

[hrchu]

AS-IS:

• solid-file-python does not aware of RDF resources.
• solid-file-python cannot manipulate (PATCH) RDF resources.

TO-BE:

• As a user, I can use solid-file-python to query and update RDF resources in a Pod, so I can get the benefit of the semantic web.
• Users can use patchFile() to modifies the content of a resource. Adding or removing triples.
• A patch request can be either in SPARQL or turtle format.
• Ability to manipulate RDF in a Pythonic way (or just introduce rdflib instead.)
