API should add "provides" for /release

[SineSwiper]

I've noticed that it's actually not so easy to get a full list of modules from a release. For example:

http://api.metacpan.org/release/DBIx-Class

This seems to provide some of the META data, but not critical sections like provides. Yes, you could query /file for the release as a search, but that's a lot of increased JSON bulk (one module per hit).

That will simplify a lot of queries!

There you go: http://api.metacpan.org/release/DBIx-Class?fields=provides
it requires a reindex of all releases though. New uploads will get a provides property.
