Upgraded JavaScript Accept header handling to make it useful.

After user@ thread with Adam Jacob [1] http://tinyurl.com/kuhl2j I realized that giving users the option to set a server preference of mime-types was crucial. Without ordering, you see nasty side effects like a browser getting an Atom feed by default. With ordering, you can ensure that browsers get HTML, API clients see XML, and Ajax apps use JSON in a no-hassle way. Example new API:

function(doc, req) {
  provides("html", function() {
    return "Hello " + doc.name + ".";
  });
  provides("xml", function() {
    var xml = new XML('<xml></xml>');
    xml.hello = doc.name;
    return xml;
  }
};

If a client sends an Accept header like "application/xml, text/html" this will return html. If the client sends just "application/xml" they will get xml.

respondsWith() has been removed. I don't think it's worth the cost to maintain a parallel implementation just to be deprecated as buggy.

This patch also continues us on the path to a cleaner, more organized query server. Cheers and enjoy.
