Add support for the PATCH method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm a little unclear on the status of this method (whether it's been accepted 
as part of the HTTP 
spec or not) but it's gaining mindshare in the blogosphere (Fielding has 
written about it recently), 
so it may be worth supporting.

Here's the latest draft:

It is not yet supported by the Commons HTTP Client library (which is used 
internally
by RESTClient). The next version of this:

http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/index.html

Also does not seem to support PATCH. Probably we can open a bug request in that 
project.
