Add methods to issue various types of HTTP requests

Added class QWebEngineHttpRequest, which describes a
GET or POST HTTP Request. Also added overloads of method
"load" to QWebEngineView, QWebEnginePage and WebContentsAdapter,
which issue such a request.
These can be used for example to simulate form-submissions.
