Title: Updated Boxcar notifier to work with latest API changes which eliminate password auth

The newest version of Boxcar API simply requires a provider to have a registered key, and then that key when combined with the email of the user who wishes to receive notifications results in the message being delivered.

I already put in a registration request for CouchPotato with Boxcar, and the key used in the /app/lib/boxcar.py reflects this new key. Once Boxcar authorizes the new provider my changes should allow anyone to use the Boxcar notifier. I submitted the request on December 11, 2011. With luck they will quickly authorize the addition. I will update this pull request when they have done so to indicate that the code is fully safe to use.

A user will simply need to have or create a Boxcar account, add the CouchPotato Service Provider from the Provider screen, enable the notifier in CouchPotato, and enter the email account they use as a username with Boxcar.
