Add auto refresh to signage slides

[jeremyboggs]

To make it so that we don't have to go refresh the browser every time we update content, let's add a way to auto refresh the page after a certain amount of time. Could add some javascript that counts how many slides there are on the page, multiply that by the amount of time we use per slide, and refresh when it gets to the end of that time frame. There might also be a way in Deck.js to tell when a presentation is at the last slide, and autorefresh back at the beginning.

Have a look at the deck.js ticket imakewebthings/deck.js#151. The pull request mentioned there (imakewebthings/deck.js#161) may provide a method to do part of this.
