othello_model.py

Handles DB (mongo) storage. One class which extends the othello.py class, adding properties to stores its own DB keys, and methods to provide its own URI, and make JSON friendly version of itself.

Key principle if that database stored game states are immutable. I.e. if a game state is retrieved from the DB, and a move is made, then upon saving it stores a new version. This is to allow GET-ing of earlier game states.
