JSONP support in the public API

Description

To work around JavaScript same-origin policy, allowing to call into base.swh from www.swh, we should add JSONP support to the public facing API.

Other common solutions are currently not viable for us:

  • CORS requires fiddling with HTTP headers (impossible using Gandi simple-hosting)
  • HTTP-level redirection (e.g., www.swh/api/* → api.swh/api/) cannot be setup as a Gandi webredir, which only supports whole-domain redirections

JSONP is feasible. We need to add support for ?jsonp=functionname to all functions in our API front-end.
