Support a correlation identifier in requests #7

When using imgflo-server semi-interactively there is a possibility that different graph parameters and thus processing requests will be created faster than images can be processed. In some cases it might only be neccesary to compute the latest of these requests. It should be possible for a client to specify an identifier along with its requests, that allows the server to drop all in-flight requests apart from the last one for a given client+identifier.

Might be out-of-scope for simple GET /process, but the job/batch API could easily allow aborting, see #25
