 * Perform an action via ajax
 *
 * @example Usage 1:
 * At its simplest, only the action name is required (and anything more than the
 * action name will be invalid).
 * <pre>
 * elgg.action('name/of/action');
 * </pre>
 *
 * The action can be relative to the current site ('name/of/action') or
 * the full URL of the action ('http://elgg.org/action/name/of/action').
 *
 * @example Usage 2:
 * If you want to pass some data along with it, use the second parameter
 * <pre>
 * elgg.action('friend/add', { friend: some_guid });
 * </pre>
 *
 * @example Usage 3:
 * Of course, you will have no control over what happens when the request
 * completes if you do it like that, so there's also the most verbose method
 * <pre>
 * elgg.action('friend/add', {
 *     data: {
 *         friend: some_guid
 *     },
 *     success: function(json) {
 *         //do something
 *     },
 * }
 * </pre>
 * You can pass any of your favorite $.ajax arguments into this second parameter.
 *
 * @note If you intend to use the second field in the "verbose" way, you must
 * specify a callback method or the data parameter.  If you do not, elgg.action
 * will think you mean to send the second parameter as data.
 *
 * @note You do not have to add security tokens to this request.  Elgg does that
 * for you automatically.
 *
 * @see jQuery.ajax
 *
 * @param {String} action The action to call.
 * @param {Object} options
 * @return {jqXHR}
