Felix Gilcher 3c47e6248a remove incorrect information about the api version
The API version is currently not equal to the gitlab major version number. Gitlab 4.1 
still uses API version 3. Point to the lib/api.rb file instead which contains the
autoritative information.

# GitLab API
All API requests require authentication. You need to pass a `private_token` parameter by url or header. You can find or reset your private token in your profile.
If no, or an invalid, `private_token` is provided then an error message will be returned with status code 401:
```json
{
"message": "401 Unauthorized"
}
```
API requests should be prefixed with `api` and the API version. The API version is defined in `lib/api.rb`.
Example of a valid API request:
```
GET http://example.com/api/v3/projects?private_token=QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U
```
The API uses JSON to serialize data. You don't need to specify `.json` at the end of API URL.
#### Pagination
When listing resources you can pass the following parameters:
+ `page` (default: `1`) - page number
+ `per_page` (default: `20`, max: `100`) - number of items to list per page
