Allow to specify “depth” when querying resources #7

It would be nice to be able to see the data of related objects (like, res.partner details when looking at a sale.order object) instead of just the <link> tag by specifying a depth parameter somewhere in the request, for example in the Accept header, as described at http://www.stereoplex.com/blog/mobile-api-design-thinking-beyond-rest. A resource queried with depth=1 could then look like this:

<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  ...
  <content type="application/vnd.openerp+xml">
  <product_product xmlns="http://localhost:8068/erptest/product.product/schema">
    ...
    <ean13 type='char'>9783540853305</ean13>
    <company_id type='many2one'>
      <res_company xmlns="http://localhost:8068/erptest/res.company/schema" href='http://localhost:8068/erptest/res.company/1'>
        <name>My Company</name>
        ...
      </res_company>
    </company_id>
    ...
  </product_product>
  </content>
