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.
