API private token should be sent in the HTTP header
Created by: ghost
It should be possible to send the private token to authenticate in the api directly on the HTTP header. At the moment gitlab reads that only as parameter in the query string.

I think is good to have both. In my opinion I think it looks cleaner to send it in the header. Also, for example RestKit provides an easy way to add additional http header that can be carry in the header of each request, but it quiet tricky to do the same for a parameter in the query string.

@vsizov, @narkoz You should also update the API docs to include this.
