Add the PATCH shortcut back to $http

[langdonx]

Can we add the PATCH shortcut back to $http like so:

createShortMethodsWithData('patch', 'post', 'put');

I'm not entirely sure why it was removed in the first place... that was the only reference I could find about it. I know IE8 support for PATCH is shakey, so maybe this can be a 1.3 thing?

From the commit message,

• there are too many unknowns about PATCH, so I'm dropping its support until we know that this is actually useful

So we can discuss it in a week or 2 and see if it needs a short-hand method again. In the mean time, there is still "support" for patch ($http({ method: "PATCH", ... })), so be careful not to mislead people about the library ;)

Thanks, I couldn't find the commit message (found the gitelephant link through Google and didn't know how to find it on Github). I modified the issue title and body so as to not be misleading. Cheers!
