[web] put a fake object that raise Unauthorized on any attribute access as req.cnx and req._user, so we are properly asked to authenticated on any view that tries to do something with one of those attributes (instead of doing defensive programming everywhere we're doing that)

"""associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries

It currently handle url's path with the forms

* <publishing_method>

* minimal REST publishing:
  * <eid>
  * <etype>[/<attribute name>/<attribute value>]*

* folder navigation


You can actually control URL (more exactly path) resolution using URL path
evaluator.

XXX actionpath and folderpath execute a query whose results is lost
because of redirecting instead of direct traversal
