API v1.1 - Support application/x-msgpack

Registered by Kurt Griffiths

Support msgpack-encoded request data. Smaller, faster, and would allow us to support binary message bodies without resorting to a bunch of x-headers to express the envelope. Could be the default in client libs.

    Drop msgpack dependency

Moving to j-2 since the implementation hasn't been started yet. --kgriffs 2014-06-05

pass encoding=utf-8 when decoding with the python msgpack library. otherwise it will screw up unicode strings

and in the client, when encoding, pass this flag
use_bin_type=True

TDD, so starting with /marconi/tests/queues/transport/wsgi

Moved to marconi future. We definitely want this but I don't believe it'll make it in the juno release, especially because the blueprint it depends on won't make it.

This doesn't mean the work on this front should stop.
