osapi (oslite) should support user mediated requests.
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHINDIG-1065
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1065
             Project: Shindig
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sachin Shenoy


According to osapi spec any request can be user mediated. (there is no more 
osapi.ui.*). Shindig to support mechanism for user mediated requests.

Changes:
- Containers can via configuration let shindig JS know which requests it want 
to be user mediated.
- Predefined hooks are used to pass the request to the container and get the 
response back.
- A new type of request, osapi.newUiRequest is defined to handle user mediated 
case. Even though this is in global space, it need not be visible to the 
developer directly. Developer uses the osapi as today.
- batch.js is modified to allow handling of user mediated requests.
- So that developer can know which request may get user mediated, every request 
exposes a boolean field userMediated (this is not part of standard but could be 
good to have something like this for future version). This would allow 
developers to write code like below,

var r = osapi.activites.create();
if (r.userMediated) {
   // skip creating activity, as I don't want to bug the user.
} else {
   r.execute();
}
