Document support for http.HTTPMethod in the @action decorator added in Python 3.11.

[pavelkraleu]

This pull request ensures that the http.HTTPMethod added in Python 3.11 is fully supported in the @action decorator, as mentioned in issue #8995.

Description

Only one test and documentation update is needed, since http.HTTPMethod already functions as is.

The reason for this is that @action already invokes lower() on each method, which converts http.HTTPMethod to a str a format that is already supported.

my thoughts on this is, do django support this structs as of yet?

That is a very good question.

I have not found any use of http.HTTPMethod in Django.
But for example request.method used in Django returns HTTP method in upper case which is compatible with http.HTTPMethod.

>>> HTTPMethod.GET == "GET"
True

So I think we can say yes, Django supports http.HTTPMethod 🙂

i'm still reluctant to at this right now before knowing the decisions of other maintainers
