Tastypie v0.9.11 LoginRequiredAuthorization

This is an Authorization class for [Tastypie](http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/authentication_authorization.html) v0.9.11 (v0.9.12 changes how Authorization works). DjangoAuthorization checks specific permissions — `add_model`, `change_model`, `delete_model`, etc. If you don't need that level of permissions checking, this might be useful. It just makes sure the User is logged in. It's equivalent to the `login_required` decorator.

Generic object_detail view with multiple named URL filters

This snippet is greatly inspired by [@jlorich](http://djangosnippets.org/users/jlorich/)'s useful [#2436](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2436/). The main difference is that I wanted to choose the names of my URL params instead of being forced into naming them "value1", "value2", etc. When reversing the URL you have to remember that the kwargs aren't friendly. By using the same names in the `filters` list, you don't have to change the way your otherwise write the URL pattern. Also it's clear throughout how you'll be filtering the QuerySet. The other change I made was "erroring early". This avoids running the QuerySet all over again inside `object_detail()` just to have it raise an exception we could have caught the first time.

Decorating URL includes

Apply a decorator to every urlpattern and URLconf module returned by Django's include() method . This allows you use a decorator on any number of views without having to decorate each one individually. The use case here is wrapping all of the Django Admin with a superuser decorator. This is code that's better left alone where we can't actually go in and decorate the Admin views and urlpatterns manually. It's also almost guaranteed the Admin will include() other URL files. So the added bonus is all the INSTALLED_APPS that have their admin.py files registered by admin.autodiscover() will be decorated automatically as well. This snippet is greatly inspired by [@miracle2k](http://djangosnippets.org/users/miracle2k/)'s excellent [#532](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/532/). In the comments there @timbroder offers a modification to decorate includes but I think this is cleaner, simpler code and not subject to changes in the Django base code driving _get_url_patterns().
