Change api to use pipeline of filters declared in conf

Registered by Rob Raymond

Right now ceilometer-api is hard coded to include a few pieces of middleware. This makes it difficult to extend for certain use cases like healthchecking or rate limiting.
Most OpenStack projects use PasteDeploy to allow the middleware pipeline to be built up declaratively.
For an example of how swift does this see
