[feat] Should be possible to use $http without $scope.$apply()

[konsultaner]

I'm in a very rare situation where I need to call $http.get(..) and the $scope should not call $apply.

The problem Is that a pulldown will refresh while I might use it. This causes the pulldown to scroll up when its opened.
