[IronPython] Publishing a Module when Embedding

The hosting API objects are all remotable and expose the APIs which are needed for hosting.  The language API half are all appdomain bound and expose the API that language implementers need to see.  IronPython actually adds extension methods to both ScriptScope and Scope so they both work like modules but Scope has more functionality such as a correct __repr__, __new__, etc...

:-)

ScriptScopes are more convenient to work with, so I'll turn them into a 
Scope when I publish them onto the runtime.

Thanks
