[issue1673007] urllib2 requests history + HEAD support

[Denver Coneybeare]

I decided to take a look at this old, forgotten issue and propose an updated patch.  I like the submitter's idea that urllib.Request.__init__() should take a "method" parameter to override the return value of get_method().  I've created and attached a patch (issue1673007_urllib_Request_method_v1.patch) which implements this functionality, adds unit tests, and updates the documentation.
