$resource and resource.$reset() to pristine state

[deitch]

I have often come across use cases where I want to be able to reset a resource back to its pristine state as it came from the server or other data source, not just a form. Of course, a form would inherit it due to 2-way binding.

Thus, I can do:

// in data source
user = {name:"John",age:35};
// in angular
User.get('123',function(user){
  // user.name is now "John"
  user.name = "Steve";  // or perhaps it was set in a form, etc.
  // user.name is now "Steve"
  user.$reset();
  // user.name is now "John"
});;

I simply created my own wrapper to it, and call my Resource which itself calls $resource, but is this of interest for a PR?

Of course, if this functionality already exists in ngResource and I missed it, happy to just use that. :-)
