importing SP metadata

[Daksh Chauhan]

I setup a metadata file and referenced it in relaying-party.xml and now we
are in business.
I am still new with Shibboleth, so was lost in this process. Most SP we
will deal with are going to be Incommon members.

This is first one we are dealing with that is not an Incommon member. I did
certainly learned from this process.

Thanks everyone!
