Retrofit LocalJsonClient

A Retrofit Client that reads JSON files from disk and returns them as the response (to be handled by GSON). Make sure the context you pass is from the instrumentation app and put your JSON files in res/raw in the instrumentation project. Inspired by Ruby's vcr gem.

A GET request to /articles will look for the JSON file res/raw/get_articles.json, a POST request to /articles/123/ will look for the JSON file res/raw/post_articles_123.json, etc.

We use setScenario() if we want to test alternate responses so that a failed login POST to /login will read from res/raw/failed_login_post_login.json (and the happy path can use post_login.json).
