For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.
[tweaked and reorganized from acrefoot's original branch in various
ways by tabbott]
If a user's session cookie expired, the next REST API request their
browser did would go into the json_unauthorized code path. This
returned a response with a WWW-Authenticate tag for HTTP Basic Auth
(since that's what the REST API uses), even for /json requests which
should only be authenticated using session auth.
We fix this by explicitly passing the desired WWW-Authenticate state.
Fixes: #800.
This caused problems with our tests suite where we were using a logged
in browser session and actually acting as a different user.

If you don't have a cookie or basic auth and the request looks like
a top-level page in the browser, redirect to the login page.
