Enable easy use of reverse proxies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think it is not uncommon for such a project to be available outside of the 
home network. Since uncommon ports can cause problems in some external networks 
and some have other apps, which should accessible on outside networks some 
chosse to route all these apps trough a reverse proxy.
To successfully route many apps through a reverse proxy it is necessary that 
these apps can work in a configurable context under which all other contexts 
are mounted. So you can simply define that the proxy routes all requests to 
/openhab to your openhab instance.
At the moment it is necessary to route many contexts through the proxy to 
openhab (/rest /static and the worst /images). This is not just a hassle in 
configuration but it can break the support for reverse proxies (just imagine 
another app in the context / with the route /images).
So it should be  possible to configure a "root context" for openhab. Just like 
you can configure a context for example on jenkins.
