twitter-compatible API: /statuses/user_timeline.json

[carols10cents]

This is a smaller story broken out from #562.

This issue is just to make /statuses/user_timeline.json work like the twitter API. This route doesn't currently exist at all, but there is a nice update json decorator for you to use.

Ignore the issue of client authentication for the moment; just make this work as a normally authenticated user in the browser for now (see #564 about authentication)

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/user_timeline

Description: Returns the 20 most recent statuses posted by the authenticating user. It is also possible to request another user's timeline by using the screen_name or user_id parameter. The other users timeline will only be visible if they are not protected, or if the authenticating user's follow request was accepted by the protected user. The timeline returned is the equivalent of the one seen when you view a user's profile on twitter.com.

Definitely interpret anything in the twitter docs so that it makes sense for rstat.us, and definitely ask if you have any questions!
