update to POST request format

[Allan Bowe]

Currently, POST requests to the /SASjsApi/stp/execute will always return a JSON object. This has the benefit of being easy to parse by client apps, however it also has a serious performance impact for larger payloads, eg:

• The processing time needed to serialise the webout / log JSON on the server side
• The increase in the payload size, eg when including the LOG file (JSON wrapper)

To illustrate - the request below took 2.5 minutes to generate, then 18 seconds to download (16mb):

The Proposal:

1. Send back the raw value of webout.txt directly in the response
2. Append the log if DEBUG >0 or if the SAS executable returned a non-0 response
3. Use a separator to distinguish the two in the response (to be determined)

This will require corresponding updates in the Adapter and other SASjs-linked applications.
