    Provide new ways to introspect webapi Resource classes.
    
    This change provides more information that can be introspected for the
    Resource classes:
    
    * Functions can list which error classes the client can expect to receives and
      the fields that can or must be specified for HTTP GET or PUT/POST.
    
    * We can now check whether the @webapi_login_required decorator was used on a
      class, in order to introspect whether the resource requires a valid logged in
      user.
    
    * We can also check which optional and required fields were specified in
      @webapi_request_fields.
    
    * Fields on a resource can now provide information on the field, including the
      type and description.
    
    * The list of custom links that a resource provides can now be queried
      separately.
    
    * It also fixes a couple decorators to preserve the function name,
      documentation and data.
    Used this in my webapi documentation generation change. Been making use of each piece of data provided with this.
