I have FINALLY done more work on proper JSON handling, including making it save the fact that a page is JSON, and breaking apart lists of objects, to make it easier to spot what has been added or removed (versus it being within a line of many). Try it on your favorite JSON-returning API endpoint, especially one that returns a list of objects. (Yes it will also break apart internal lists, and does not provide context for any such changes.)

You can now tell WWWizzzard to ignore lines that contain any of various strings, and elements fitting any of various CSS selectors. This is very useful for ignoring frequent insignificant changes, such as carousels, randomized lists, Twitter feeds, and randomized pieces.

- Bugfix: it used to be that if there was a problem fetching the page, that would nuke the old stored body, and the error code was not properly recorded. Those have now been fixed. Not sure if it affects 404s and 500s and such, but I'll look into it when I have time.
- The checker now runs every one minute, not fifteen! However, to prevent excessive CPU and RAM spikes (that were getting the app OOM-killed before), it will only check a few sites per minute, with the rest getting delayed to the next minute (and so on as needed). The system is getting little enough usage that that's still plenty.
