[Catalyst] error handling (Chain where ajax and non-ajax actions chain off)

[Ben van Staveren]

A bit offtopic but why use the trait at all, you can just check the 
x-requested-with header for the 'XMLHttpRequest' value - saves you a 
dependency. As far as the status_not_found routine, I suggest a liberal 
bit of cut 'n paste and using View::JSON (sort of negates the losing of 
one dependency if you give up the trait, unless you're using it already).
