Robin Ward 22789e0201 New bootstrap.json endpoint for starting up Discourse
Discourse needs a bunch of data preloaded before it can start up.
Normally we throw blobs of this into the HTML document that is requested
but in some cases that's awkward to retrieve.

For example with Ember CLI you have a separate javascript application
that needs to make its own HTML.

This API endpoint returns a JSON object with all the data Discourse needs to
bootstrap and start up.
