How to overcome limitations of GET? (X-HTTP-Method-Override?)

[jdukleth]

Is there a method in place to overcome GET limitations? For example, browsers/Apache have a maximum character limit on query strings. The ability to send POST but use GET as the overriden method is desired.

Sending a X-HTTP-Method-Override header is the suggested standard that many APIs support. (Google is behind this). I have not found this or any other workaround in Apigility.

I made a PR for this feature.
I think enabling this listener should be optional, feels not good to connect such a feature by default to the application so I connected the listener depending on a x_http_method_override_enabled key in the config.

Not sure exactly on what is a valid priority value for this listener. I would say as early as possible, currently set to -40 to be triggered before all other zf-campus onRoute listeners, but might earlier might be even better. I added a TODO to check this value...
