what's new in jackson

[James Bowes]

I pushed out some changes to the jackson branch last night which:
- make objects serialized as json use human readable datetimes
- allow you to configure pretty printed json via the
  candlepin.pretty_print=<boolean> config value (looks awesome in the
  logs for debugging, if i do say so myself)
- use either jackson or jaxb annotations for reading/writing objects,
  prefering the jackson ones, if present.

These are done by making our own jax-rs JsonProvider and twiddling the
jackson configuration. In the process of writing this I found out that
we could really do it with the provider provided (heh) by RestEasy or
Jackson without subclassing, but I still do think the provider will be
the place to do input validation, so I went ahead and made the class.

Given the feedback (albeit marginal) from the rest-easy guys.. if you 
all like this.. push it in.

It will break the java and ruby clients.. but that is ok. They can be fixed

Does this mean you are going to remove the non-jackson libraries for 
doing JSON once it is merged?

yeah, i'd see no point in keeping a dep on jettison around.

The branch is in master now. After a quick poll in channel we decided to
stick with camelCase variable names, just to keep things saner.

Let me know if anything breaks!
