- refactor logic and model from status.xml and playlist.xml to prepare those to work as simple views driven by the model. This will allow the .json files to exist as models as well - so .json is also added as a mimetype
- refactor status.xml to use data from shared model in luahttp.lua
- added status.json - mimics functionality of status.xml
