[issue11664] Add patch method to unittest.TestCase

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

I concur with Raymond here. Since mock is also part of stdlib and this issue predates mock being merged to stdlib. I think adding it to unittest sort of expands the unittest API being just an alias to mock.patch. mock.patch is used in lot of places and has a good adoption as plain function, decorator and context manager. This would also mean explaining people why there is mock.patch and TestCase.patch in docs too.
