Minetest: Add support for PUT and DELETE methods in HTTPRequest

[sorcerykid]

Problem

There is currently no way to perform PUT and DELETE requests. Yet these two methods are often required by APIs of GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub in order to update or delete specified endpoints.

Solution

I would suggest adding an optional method field to the HTTPRequest table that can be either GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE. If the post_data field is not nil, then the method will be constrained to just POST (default as usual) or PUT.

I'm using a python script to work around this now. I will likely post it when complete.
