Subject: webui: main.js: Add "getCookie()" and "jQuery.postJSON()" functions

* Add function "getCookie()": get the value of the specified key from
  the cookies;
* Add jQuery extension ".postJSON()": wrapper for easier AJAX post,
  with the XSRF header and correct content type;
* Also set the default "error" handle function for AJAX request.
