php: arrays in post data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When php receives parameter like 'a[b]=test', 
it creates for it entry like 'a' => array('b' => 'test'). 

OAuthRequest is initialized with $_POST or $_GET values,
thus sometimes it receives arrays as parameter value. 
It's not easy to escape an array or use it in signature ; ) 

OAuthRequest needs to be initialized with array 
having only scalars as values. 

Following patch implements OAuthRequest::get_flat_post()
method and uses it to populate OAuthRequest parameters.

I have created a patch that enables arrays in input, instead of just flattening 
arrays so the issues wont arise. 
There might still be some issues with converting the parameters back into 
urls/header but at least the signature 
will be correctly formed/verified.
