BackboneJS sync hack to namespace params when saving/updating model
###
Usage:
* add model.name property that will be used as a namespace in the json request
* put this code before your Backbone app code
* use toJSON() as usual (so there is no namespacing in your templates)
* your model's data will be sent under model.name key when calling save()
