Observer for http requests

This change allows caller to observe technical details (e.g. headers,
body, etc.) of http requests that are sent in the background of odata
calls.

+Observing HTTP traffic
+----------------------
+
+There are cases where you need access to the transport protocol (http). For
+example: you need to read value of specific http header. Pyodata provides
+simple mechanism to observe all http requests and access low lever properties
+directly from underlying engine (**python requests**).
+
+You can use basic predefined observer class
+``pyodata.utils.RequestObserverLastCall`` to catch last response headers:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pyodata.utils import RequestObserverLastCall
+
+    last = RequestObserverLastCall()
+    northwind.entity_sets.Employees.get_entity(1).execute(last)
+    print(last.response.headers)
+
+You can also write your own observer to cover more specific cases. This is an example of
+custom observer which stores status code of the last response.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pyodata.utils import RequestObserver
+
+    class CatchStatusCode(RequestObserver):
+
+        def __init__(self):
+            self.status_code = None
+
+        def http_response(self, response, request):
+            self.status_code = response.status_code
+
+    last_status = RequestObserverLastCall()
+
+    northwind.entity_sets.Employees.get_entity(1).execute(last_status)
+    print(last_status.status_code)
