Breaking changes

• Resource endpoints switched from If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since
  to Etags (fixes #251 via #275), thanks @michielbdejong!

Minor

• existing attribute of conflict errors responses was moved inside a generic
  details attribute that is also used to list validation errors.
• Setting cliquet.basic_auth_enabled is now deprecated.
  Use pyramid_multiauth <https://github.com/mozilla-services/pyramid_multiauth>_
  configuration instead to specify authentication policies.
• Logging value for authentication type is now authn_type (with FxAOAuth
  or BasicAuth as default values).
