Check in PNaCl kernel built in naclports about colaboratory

[KesterTong]

I have tried using Matt's build, but it has some errors. Seems like while initializing, IPython is calling some functions that don't exist in PNaCl's glibc-compat library, causing it to crash. We've seen things like this before, e.g. in IPython/core/prompts.py. I checked that it wasn't a regression to that particular issue, but the fix to prompts.py is still in place. So it looks like some other change in the naclports build (shift to pyppapi library, new python libraries, or changes in how IPython is initialized) is causing this error.

I'm pretty sure this is because it needs html5fs persistent to be available
in JavaScript. My fork had the JS necessary. pyppapi doesn't use
gethostname and works fine with glibc-compat; the error message is printed
by pyppapi to notify the developer that it is replacing that function with
a stub function.
