Method to Report Plays and Views

We need a method such as /reportPlay or /program/123/play that records and/or counts the event that someone has viewed or listened to a program. This is required for non-web clients where these operations are not known to SpokenWord.org.

        Furthermore, if we provide this via the API we'll then ened to figure out how to throttle it so that someone doesn't run up the counts for a program or feed. The alternative is to store listens/vies on a per-user basis, and I don't think we want to do that.

        We count plays and webpage views, but we don't keep track of the individuals who performed these operations. eg, There's no way to indicate that user 123 watched program 456. That data is not stored in our database.
