Add support for swipetrack API #4

The idea is the same as for issue #3. Swipetrack is a more generic iOS app for 
getting scanned barcodes into a webapp. It does not require, but also does 
support, LINEA scanners. It claims to be able to scan barcodes with the iOS 
device’s built-in camera. I suppose if you have a new enough iOS device with 
a higher-quality camera (my now older iPod and even iPad cameras cannot focus 
well at short range and at a farther range are too low resolution for 1D 
barcode scanning), this camera-based scanning might work well enough for casual 
users.

jquery-barcodelistener should automatically detect if it is running under 
swipetrack. If it is, it should hook into swipetrack’s events and disable its 
own keyboard event detection. This should both enable LINEA users and even iOS 
camera users to have a much more streamlined scanning experience than otherwise 
possible.
