Security APIs on pyramid.request.Request
The pyramid.security Authorization API function has_permission is made available on the request. The pyramid.security Authentication API functions are now available as properties (unauthenticated_userid, authenticated_userid, effective_principals) and methods (remember_userid, forget_userid) on pyramid.request.Request. Backwards compatibility: For each of the APIs moved to request method or property, the original API in the pyramid.security module proxies to the request. Reworked tests to check module level b/c wrappers call through to mixins for each API. Tests that check no reg on request now do the right thing. Use a response callback to set the request headers for forget_userid and remember_userid. Update docs. Attempt to improve a documentation section referencing the pyramid.security.has_permission function in docs/narr/resources.rst Ensures backwards compatiblity for `pyramid.security.forget` and `pyramid.security.remember`.

- Pyramid's console scripts (``pserve``, ``pviews``, etc) can now be run
directly, allowing custom arguments to be sent to the python interpreter
at runtime. For example::
