urllib2.AbstractDigestAuthHandler.get_authorization
always forced the method to be either 'GET' or 'HEAD'
when computing the digest.  This meant that digest auth
for any other method would fail automatically; for
example, DELETE or PUT, for any HTTP servers that
support them, or DAV verbs like PROPFIND.  This single
line change just calls Request.get_method instead of
hardcoding the defaulting logic.

Request.get_method still forces the method to be either
GET or HEAD, but a determined caller can override
Request if they need to use a different method.

A very determined caller indeed. I've checked in the patch
on maint24 and HEAD. Less duplication and more flexibility
never hurt anyone, right?
