Return objects on POST

[j-bernard]

It would be useful to get the created object after a POST request:

• POST /users => need to get back id and certs
• POST /devices => need to get back wpa_key and name

You can add a body and still return a 201, it is valid rest. It would avoid making a new call to get the object right after creating it.
But can do without it so it's up to you.
Definitively, not a high priority.
