So a replacement for this going forward would be the /projects/ URL:

  https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/34490  -- make /projects/
  https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/34492  -- filtering

All older versions of Gerrit will return a 404 for this URL, so newer
versions of the connector could ask for this URL first and fall back
to the visibleProject method approach.

I'm starting to build newer APIs in a similar style, e.g. I have an
RFC now pending for /changes/ to search for changes:

  https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/34486

Comments from teams that will actually call these APIs would be very
much appreciated, as we want these to be the start of a very long term
REST like API that everyone can build around with less hackery
involved.
