Generic action support

[anuveyatsu]

This client supports only predefined set of actions from CKAN API. However, CKAN extensions may add new API actions which is not supported by this R client. Below is an example JS client and how generic action support is done:

client.action(action_name, body, function(err, result) {
  console.log(err);
  console.log(result);
})

I never used R so please let me know if this doesn't make sense here.

Thanks for the issue @anuveyatsu

Yes, I think we can do that. I think it would make sense to return JSON in this case then, as there'd be no way to ahead of time know how to parse the results to an R object
