At least for new API methods: use the okResponse(XX) from AbstractApiBean

Moving card to Gustavo, as Michael's API beans are converted.

The main reason I have this ticket is that we'd like to remove some unused API classes. See also #26.

@michbarsinai sorry but as I mentioned in 7cde601 I'm not ready to change from String to Response in api/Config.java

[michbarsinai]

Current state:
apiConfig has to stay as is for now.
meta will probably be merged to Access. At any event, can't change until TowRavens are updated as well.

Assign to @scolapasta - this can be closed, I think.
