nock mixes usage of qs and querystring

[jeffora]

It appears nock mixes usage of native node querystring module and npm installed qs module for parsing querystring-like objects.

In nock/lib/interceptor.js it requires qs (a dependency in package.json), but in nock/lib/match_body.js it requires querystring, the native node library.

These two libraries have different outputs. For example:

var query = require('querystring');
var qs = require('qs');

query.parse('a%5Bb%5D=test'); // => { 'a[b]': 'test' }
qs.parse('a%5Bb%5D=test'); // => { a: { b: 'test' } }

This means interceptors and body matchers have different behavior.

@jeffora Good catch.

A PR would be welcome..

Which dependency would be desirable to keep? 'querystring' or 'qs' ?

I think native 'querystring'

I think this is a good idea, though it will be a breaking change to body matching. For example, It will break use cases like this one:

https://github.com/nock/nock/blob/3d74a15cdbecf805400471c5bd0bbfeca4fa7b96/tests/test_body_match.js#L193-L222

I suggest we add a flag to allow users who use array syntax and qs-style encoding to keep using it. We could make qs an optionalDependency.
