support GET request for user/activate #846

It's a bit odd that the email link created and sent by the ohmage server points to another (potentially non-existent) location. It should really create a link that points back to itself, therefore not requiring any external client to handle actually creating the user/activate request.

Easiest way to do this would probably be to support a GET request to user/activate, and upon successful activation via this request return a simple html page suggesting the account was now active. This supports backwards compatibility as the POST to user/activate will continue to function as it has in the past.

this is handled much more naturally in the mobilizingcs/navbar code. Closing as wont fix.
