Allow DataParser to return typed objects

DataParser should not be required to return Any and have objects checked for type safety at runtime. This allows us to use the Swift build time type checking system with very minimal changes to existing code. The only API breaking change is that Request classes using the default JSONDataParser should now conform to JSONRequest, instead of just Request. This is because protocol extensions cannot declare default associated types.
