Review request for shindig.


Changes
-------

Added JIRA


Summary
-------

Change to io.js to send the security token as a request header on all requests. 
  This preserves the ability for the browser to cache the responses.  
UrlParameterAuthenticationHandler, if no other token supplied on request, 
checks the request header for the field
MakeRequestHandler sets the security token in all HttpRequest objects. This 
change does not cause a failure if there is no token, though that could be 
considered.

The makeXhrRequest logic was reordered slightly, as the opt_headers were not 
included on the request if paramData was null.   So for example, if the 
makeRequest wanted to set opt_headers in the call parameters, but it was 'GET' 
method in makeRequest, the opt_headers would not be added to the request.   I 
didn't come up with a reason for that restriction, and so reordered the logic 
and moved the opt_headers updates to the request outside of the if (paramData 
!= null) test.


This addresses bug SHINDIG-1768.

> Following on in the same vein as SHINDIG-1756, we want to better identify the 
> source of the requests coming into the server via makeRequest.    If the 
> request authz is not none, then the security token flows.   if the authz is 
> NONE, the security token is not sent.   This change would be to include the 
> security token on every request.  Since including the token on the URL 
> parameter would break the ability to cache, the security token will instead 
> be added as a header named X-Shindig-ST on all requests.   On the shindig 
> server side, the header will be processed if there is not already a token 
> supplied as a url parameter or oauth related parameter.
