[issue3244] multipart/form-data encoding

[Chris AtLee]

New submission from Chris AtLee <chris at atlee.ca>:

The standard library should provide a way to encode data using the
standard multipart/form-data encoding.

This encoding is required to support file uploads via HTTP POST (or PUT)
requests.

Ideally file data could be streamed to the remote server if httplib
supported iterable request bodies (see issue #3243).
