Subject: Suggestion: Adding PUT, PATCH and DELETE

Hi.

I've not been a member for too long so I might have missed if this have
been discussed earlier.

But I've created a small PR to the basic request handling to support PUT,
PATCH and DELETE.

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1519

Summary:

Added support for request methods with the smallest change possible.
History:

HTTP 1.0 had only support for GET, POST and HEAD.
In June of 1999 HTTP 1.1 added the verbs PUT and DELETE and later in 2010
RFC5789 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789) added PATCH.
Pull request explaination:

In this pull request I try to add put, patch and delete with changing as
few functions as possible. I simply handle the new verbs as POST. As
defined in HTTP 1.1 they are similar in input data requirements and differ
only in usage.

More work I could do is add new globals for $_PUT, $_PATCH and $_DELETE but
I think this might be more confusing. Or we could move from $_POST to a new
global not tied to a verb. Example $_PARSED_INPUT
