RFE: Add PATCH to the list of the supported HTTP methods

[Andrej Golovnin]

Hi all,

it would be nice if could add PATCH
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789) to the list of the supported
HTTP methods in the HttpURLConnection class.

I have attached two patches:

- one for the HttpURLConnection class:
  java_net_HttpURLConnection_PATCH_method.diff

- and one for the HTTP Client branch in the JDK sandbox repository
which adds PATCH to the HttpRequest builder:
  java_net_http_HttpRequest_PATCH_method.diff

Best regards,
Andrej Golovnin
