Title: Fix #474 - Backbone.ajax

This patch adds `Backbone.ajax` for swapping out the method used for persistence in `Backbone.sync`. It should be noted that setting `$.ajax` will no longer affect `sync` making this a breaking change for any code that relies on this behavior. I believe this will mostly affect test code, but it's worth noting nonetheless.
