v1.51.0: API Update & Cleanup

📝 What’s Changed

This release updates and cleans up the API code. The API itself hasn't changed although some clients may need minor updates if they were relying on non-standard behavior.

Authorization: "Bearer <token>" is now the preferred method of authentication. X-User-* headers are still supported indefinitely for v1 of the API. The eventual APIv2 will likely support Bearer token only.

If something breaks, it's likely due to one of the following:

• All API requests must be made to .json endpoints. (e.g. /p.json and NOT /p)
• Unauthorized requests will now return a 401 Unauthorized status code without a response body.
• Anonymous calls are still supported and unchanged.
• Bad credentials will now return a 401 Unauthorized. Previously, the API would act anonymously and end up confusing countless victims.
• The API now enforces JSON format for all requests and request body.
