Settings

added the `settings` api, plus implemented the setting for xpath compression.
added docs and tests

will squash once approved of course,

Oh, also had to add to wd.js to get the tests working. If we are ok with my implementation I'll push there. In the meantime you can clone [my fork of wd.js](https://github.com/jonahss/wd).

And then I'm going to go and update the rest of the clients....

(of course I'll squash, once we're through here ;)
Since this an ephemeral comment--presumably Sessions will exist at some point--can you either add a date here or note the current version at date of adding the comment?  That will help prevent this from getting crufty when future changes are made.
