David M. Lee fccb427c88 ari:Add application/json parameter support
The patch allows ARI to parse request parameters from an incoming JSON
request body, instead of requiring the request to come in as query
parameters (which is just weird for POST and DELETE) or form
parameters (which is okay, but a bit asymmetric given that all of our
responses are JSON).

For any operation that does _not_ have a parameter defined of type
body (i.e. "paramType": "body" in the API declaration), if a request
provides a request body with a Content type of "application/json", the
provided JSON document is parsed and searched for parameters.

The expected fields in the provided JSON document should match the
query parameters defined for the operation. If the parameter has
'allowMultiple' set, then the field in the JSON document may
optionally be an array of values.

This directory contains templates and template processing code for generating
HTTP bindings for the RESTful API's.

The RESTful API's are declared using [Swagger][swagger]. While Swagger provides
a [code generating toolkit][swagger-codegen], it requires Java to run, which
would be an unusual dependency to require for Asterisk developers.

This code generator is similar, but written in Python. Templates are processed
by using [pystache][pystache], which is a fairly simply Python implementation of
[mustache][mustache].
