 This enhancement will allow a user to submit a change request via the web
 /change_hook/base interface. All attributes of a Change object can be set.
 The request is submitted as json objects, and the results returned as a
 json of the updated Change object, represented as a dictionary.

 A python script creates the change, submits by posting to
 /change_hook/base, and prints the result.

 The original purpose of this is to support kicking off a build on demand
 via a script as opposed to a source file change. I needed a mechanism for
 starting an official release build, with the ability to pass in build
 options via properties. The properties include the repository tag to
 checkout.

 I will push my changes to github shortly.
