  LPS-29845	JSON WebServices not available if portal context is not ROOT
  LPS-29512	Localization of entities (country names, categories...) no longer working in JSON WebServices

Similar to the concept of WSDL, lets add json-based document for describing all api services.

this can be invoked like:

/api/jsonws?list

or to narrow down the list to certain service(s):

/api/jsonws?list=/dlapp/*,/user/*

This would also help to automatically build the clients.

Current example of discovery document:

{
  "context": "/batman-portlet",
  "basePath": "/api/jsonws",
  "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/batman-portlet/api/jsonws",
  "methods": {
    "/batasset/call1": {
      "path": "/batasset/call1",
      "parameters": {
        "id": "long",
        "value": "string"
      },
      "httpMethod": "POST",
      "response": "void"
    },
    "/batasset/hello": {
      "path": "/batasset/hello",
      "parameters": {
        
      },
      "httpMethod": "POST",
      "response": "void"
    },
    "/batasset/invoke-method": {
      "path": "/batasset/invoke-method",
      "parameters": {
        "name": "string",
        "parameterTypes": "string[]",
        "arguments": "object[]"
      },
      "httpMethod": "POST",
      "response": "object"
    }
  }
}
