This commit introduces a mechanism to add information into the session
from a different module, without having to fetch it manually with a rpc.
This is intended to be used with small pieces of info required at the
start of the web client, such as currency informations.
To add information to the session, one can simply inherit from ir.http
and modify the session_info method.
* change datetime.now() to generate user-local naive datetimes
* add datetime.utcnow() behaving as the old now()
* add date.today() generating a user-local date (for the current day)
* add datetime.replace() to replace any specific attribute of the
datetime object (except tzinfo, for now)
* datetime.toJSON() now returns the equivalent javascript Date object
(warning: uses the datetime attributes directly, since datetimes are
naive if they were created with utcnow() the Date result is going to
be complete nonsense). With the previous commit datetime.now()
generates a user-local now() which is converted to the correct UTC
datetime when sent to the server.
This means it becomes possible to generate datetime bounds for the
user's local today with either
datetime.datetime.now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0)
or
datetime.datetime.combine(
datetime.date.today(),
datetime.time())
and once send over JSON-RPC the server will get the local datetime
in UTC to the server's format.
nb: user-local means "in the timezone of the user's browser" in this
context.

JS objects are converted to py.object when passed in through the
evaluation context. py.object are not serializable by default (because
that doesn't really make sense), which breaks when the input is
intended as a dict and returned (e.g. o2m values, which are triples of
(int, int?, dict?)).
Intuitively, JS objects passed as part of the context should be mostly
JSON-ish and thus dicts, but that turns out not work work as some
addons use attribute accesses within contexts (e.g. parent.access in
account/account_invoice_view.xml)
=> Temporarily solve by converting raw js objects to an "attributed
dict" which acts as both a dict and an object and can be converted to
JSON.
Ideally, py.js should provide for a pluggable conversion, or should
use an attributed mapping internally. See issues 21 and 23.

when creating the instance, set instance.session.uid to 42 so the evaluator has something to chew on when it tries to create the evaluation context
