[issue12614] Allow to explicitly set the method of urllib.request.Request

[Miki Tebeka]

New submission from Miki Tebeka <miki.tebeka at gmail.com>:

Currently urllib.request.Request decides if it's a "GET" or "POST" by the presence of data. However sometimes you want to do an "POST" request without data (in my case, it Crucible REST API). Or provide another method. The attached patched added a `method` argument to Request __init__.
