Batch API middleware
Adds a single route to the installation that:
1. accepts a POST call containing a JSON array of 'http-like' JSON
dictionaries.
2. Each dictionary describes a single API call within the batch and is routed
back by the middleware to the application's `handle_request` as if it was
a separate request.
3. Each response generated is combined into a final JSON list that is
returned from the POST call.
In this way, API calls can be kept properly atomic and the endpoint can compose
them into complex tasks using only one request.
..note: This batch system is primarily designed for use by the UI as these
types of batch operations *reduce the number of requests* for a given group of
API tasks. IOW, this ain't about batching jobs.
..warning: this endpoint is experimental is likely to change.
