    Define enumerators for all HTTP methods, including PATCH from RFC5789
    
    This patch defines enumerators for all HTTP methods that exist
    (including PATCH introduced in RFC 5789).
    
    It also makes them bit-masky (that's not a word, is it?), breaking
    binary- but not source-code compatibility.
    
    evhttp now stores a bitmask specifying for which methods requests to
    dispatch and which ones to reject with "405 Method Not Allowed".
    
    By default that's the ones we currently have (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT,
    DELETE), thereby keeping functional compatibility (besides the minor
    change that one of the other methods will now cause 405 instead of
    400. But I believe that could even be considered a bug-fix).
    
    evhttp is extended by evhttp_set_allowed_methods() with which the
    user can change that bitmask.
    
    no regressions here and my test-app still works. Haven't yet
    actually tested any of the new methods.
    
    What's obviously missing here is the special logic for the methods:
    
    OPTIONS: We should be fine here - I believe our current dispatch
    logic should work fine. Some convenience functions would be fine
    though.
    
    TRACE: I'm pretty certain we should never dispatch this to the
    callbacks and simply implement the necessary functionality built-in.
    
    CONNECT: Pretty straight-forward to implement (and considering the
    framework in which we implement it very efficient too). Should
    probably go built-in.
    
    PATCH: Except for checking the RFC against our pre-dispatch logic
    (there just might be some "MUST not have Some-Header" lurking
    somewhere) there is nothing to be done here, this is completely up
    to the user. Nothing to do.

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make verify   # (optional)
    $ sudo make install
    
    1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)
    
    To build libevent, type
    
    $ ./configure && make
    
         (If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
          first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
          generate the configure script.)
    
    Install as root via
    
    # make install
    
    You can run the regression tests by running
    
    $ make verify
    
    Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
    
    To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
    
       CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
    
    Standard configure flags should work.  In particular, see:
    
       --disable-shared          Only build static libraries
       --prefix                  Install all files relative to this directory.
    
    
    The configure script also supports the following flags:
    
       --enable-gcc-warnings     Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
       --disable-malloc-replacement
                                 Don't let applications replace our memory
                                 management functions
       --disable-openssl         Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
       --disable-thread-support  Don't support multithreaded environments.
