Started the refactoring work on couchrest.

* A server can have multiple defined available databases set to be used by documents (think DM repos)
* A server can have a default database so documents can easily share the same db connection
* Let a document class have a default database to use
* Give access to a document uri
* extracted some of the document features to a mixin
