araspitzu a4b94004e4 API: use form data instead of JSON-RPC (#894)
Port the existing API functionalities over a new structure of HTTP endpoints, with the biggest difference being the usage of **named parameters** for the requests (responses are unchanged). RPC methods have become endpoints and the parameters for each are now passed via form-params (clients must use the header "Content-Type" : "multipart/form-data"), this allows for a clearer interpretation of the parameters and results in more elegant parsing code on the server side. It is possible to still use the old API version via a configuration key.

Old API can be used by setting `eclair.api.use-old-api=true`.
