Paypal PayFlow Pro Module

Broadleaf Commerce currently offers integration with the PayPal PayFlow Gateway.
See documentation here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/products/payflow-gateway/
Payflow is a secure, open payment gateway. It is available in two versions:
Payflow Link, which requires the use of hosted payment pages, and Payflow Pro, which gives merchants total control over the payment process.
Payflow allows merchants to choose any Internet Merchant Account to accept debit or credit card payments and
connect to any major processor. It also lets merchants accept PayPal and Bill Me LaterĀ® payments.

In order to lessen PCI compliance requirements, this module is intended to be used with the Secure Token Transparent Redirect integration method.
