We should now get an overview and help text on how to add a particular
channel and also a bit of information about the builds that are required
for a channel to get upgraded.
Right now we only select the latest successful build in the latest
successful evaluation, so if someone wants to have more information about
which channel has failed, (s)he still has to look at the "Channels" tab
of the jobset.
We can make this more fancy at some later point if this is really
needed, because right now we're only interested in the latest build,
because it's the only thing necessary to deliver the channel contents.

The catalyst-action-rest branch from shlevy/hydra was an exploration of
using Catalyst::Action::REST to create a JSON API for hydra. This commit
merges in the best bits from that experiment, with the goal that further
API endpoints can be added incrementally.
In addition to migrating more endpoints, there is potential for
improvement in what's already been done:
* The web interface can be updated to use the same non-GET endpoints as
the JSON interface (using x-tunneled-method) instead of having a
separate endpoint
* The web rendering should use the $c->stash->{resource} data structure
where applicable rather than putting the same data in two places in
the stash
* Which columns to render for each endpoint is a completely debatable
question
* Hydra::Component::ToJSON should turn has_many relations that have
strings as their primary keys into objects instead of arrays

In particular the /pkg action is now O(lg n) instead of O(n) in the
number of packages in the channel, and listing the channel contents
no longer requires calling isValidPath() on all packages.
Derivations (and thus build time dependencies) are no longer included
in the channel, because they're not GC roots. Thus they could
disappear unexpectedly.
