This change adds a new webhooks framework which obsoletes the rbwebhooks
extension. As more and more web services start integrating with each other,
it's becoming more expected that these sorts of facilities will be in the core
product.

The payloads for events piggy-back on the WebAPI's serialization routines. This
means that we get all the relevant data, as well as the links for each
resource. This makes the payload for the webhook much more useful than it was
in the extension.

Additionally, there's an X-ReviewBoard-Event header which lists the event name,
and an X-ReviewBoard-Signature header which is an HMAC signature of the
payload. If the webhook is configured with a 'secret', that secret is used as
the key for the HMAC digest.

This new framework currently implements the review_request_published event.
Implementation for the others will come once this is approved.

Set up a webhook to point to requestb.in and published a review request.
Checked the request bin and saw the expected JSON payload with valid links, as
well as the correct headers.
