JSON API now available

Hi all,

I have been hacking on the Test Framework code in order to expose a JSON API so that tools can be built on top of the data that we are gathering.

For in-depth details, please refer to the documentation which you can find at:

    http://w3c-test.org/framework/docs/api/

This API supports CORS and exposes a *lot* of the underlying functionality of the backend system. All of the read parts of the API are open to all; the write parts require a login (you can log into the API directly, and maintain that connection with a session cookie). This should enable a broad set of use cases for reuse of this data.

In order to ensure that the API is usable I have also developed a new UI for the framework that sits atop this API. I will be discussing that in a separate thread.

If you use this, find problems, find the documentation too hard, have questions or whatever don't hesitate to contact me (or write here)!
