Return json from controller for upcoming backbone integration

There's now json actions for calendar#show and events#show. However, it still barfs when the wrong token is specified (rather than returning 404).

Right now, the json returns are implemented using to_json, which is sorta fine, but doesn't allow for a lot of control over how the json is serialized and (in my opinion) mixes view and controller stuff into one magic railsy thing.

@mamhoff To limit the returned data, I think you can use something like to_json(only: [:title, ...]). Take a look here.

In terms of view/controller separation, as long as you just return json, I think it should be in the controller. The view is just used for presenting data to a user. In our case the presentation would be handled by a backbone template.

Not sure about the token issue

Yeah, I know. The before filter works great actually if you have valid
data, but barfs if your hash is invalid.
