  Add test helper function for posting to CKAN API

Add ckan.tests.post(), a helper function for posting to CKAN's action API and
getting the result, that handles forming the correct action API URL, converting
the apikey to a string and putting it in a headers dict like TestApp expects,
collecting params into a dict and dumping them to a JSON string, and checking
the 'success' field of the response.

This can save a lot of lines of code and make tests more readable. I've
converted test_follow.py as an example of how much can be saved.

Similar savings could be made in many other test modules:

ckan/tests/functional/api/model/test_vocabulary.py,
ckan/tests/functional/api/model/test_group.py,
ckan/tests/functional/api/test_dashboard.py,
ckan/tests/functional/api/test_activity.py,
ckan/tests/functional/test_follow.py,
ckan/tests/functional/test_tag_vocab.py,
ckan/tests/functional/test_related.py,
ckan/tests/logic/test_action.py
ckan/tests/logic/test_tag.py.

ckan/tests/functional/api/model/test_package.py could also be changed to use
this function. It currently uses a similar function defined in
ckan.tests.functional.api.base:ApiTestCase.
