[Catalyst] Error in subclassing Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API::REST

Hey Amiri,

I just finished building some code around C::C::DBIC::API and ran  
into something similar. I'm assuming in this test that you are trying  
to get a list of all artists.  If so, you should make a GET request  
against http://localhost/api/rest/artist.   In a REST controller,  
artist/list would be asking for the artist whose id is 'list'.     
C::C::DBIC::API also doesn't support GET on an individual object out  
of the box, but it is easy to add.  Just add

   sub object_GET :Private {}

in RestTest::ControllerBase::REST.  The rest of the code is already  
there to retrieve the object and serialize it.

Cheers,
Fitz
