Service Export

#34

It would be cool to be able to specify some methods to export into a simple summary of available services to users wanting to know how to use the Halcyon app similar in concept to WSDL.

Sample usage could be:

app/messages.rb

class Messages < Application
  export :create, :read
  def create
    # implementation
  end
  def read
    # implementation
  end
  def update
    # implementation
  end
  def delete
    # implementation
  end
end

This would indicate that only the create and read actions are described in this service description.

The service description could be queried at /services or something similar.

There could also be ways to extract out information and comments about what each method does, either straight from the source or by a method (such as explain used inside of an action).
```
class Messages < Application
  export :create, :read
  def create
    explain "creates a new message to add to the queue"
    # implementation
  end
  # etc
end
```
