Support nested collections again

[ahamid]

A change was made in the recent rewrite which appears to have broken nested collections. The problem is in 'extract_collection_name' - only the first name component will ever be returned. E.g.

/patients/<id> -> patients
/patients/<id>/procedures -> patients

Below is a JS patch which more conservatively strips trailing id but otherwise preserves the rest of the url:

Does the CouchDB API provide success for nested collections?

[ahamid]

as far as i understand a collection is just a view on a certain field, for example, the 'collection' field. this can be any string, and the patch above allows this string to be the id of a different model. i don't think there is any special about nesting to support.
