Add support for prev/next/self links when returning paginated results. To do this: 1) change "data" envelope from an array to a dict 2) move the "data" array to the "collection" property, which is an array of elements in the collection. 3) add @links dict keyed by link relation: self, next, prev. Each relation is an array of dicts with uri and rel keys. In this case there is only one element, but there is nothing preventing a relation from having multiple url's. So this follows the formatting needed for the general case. Relations are present only if it makes sense. So first page has no prev and last page has no next. 4) add @total_size with number of element selected if they were not paginated. Replicates data in X-Count-Total header. Changed index to start at 1. So the first page is page_index 1 and not page_index 0. (So I am no longer surprised when I set page_index to 1 and am missing a bunch of records 8-)). Also a small fixup, json response ends with a newline so printing the data, or using curl makes sure that anything printing after the json output (like shell prompts) is on a new line. Tests added for all cases.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python22\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed.
2. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
3. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
4. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt::

 Name: classic
 Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs,
              feature requests, project issues or any number of other types
              of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template
              suits them, with perhaps a few customisations.
 Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
