Get recent projects
-------------------

* `GET /my/recent_projects.json` will return the projects the current user has most recently visited, most recent visit first. Only active projects the user can still access are included, and the list is capped at the 50 most recent visits.

A visit is recorded when the user opens a project in Basecamp, when they create a project, and when an API client calls [Record a project visit](#record-a-project-visit). Each entry is the same shape as [Get a project](#get-a-project), plus `bookmarked`.
