Fixed #3160 -- Added the ability to control the content type in a test client POST request. This is to allow easier testing of json-rpc/xml-rpc/soap etc interfaces. Thanks to Mikeal Rogers for the suggestion, and Ben <afternoon@uk2.net> for the patch.

``post(path, data={})``
Make a POST request on the provided ``path``. The key-value pairs in the
data dictionary will be used to create the POST data payload. This payload
will be transmitted with the mimetype ``multipart/form-data``.
However submitting files is a special case. To POST a file, you need only
``post(path, data={}, content_type=MULTIPART_CONTENT)``
Make a POST request on the provided ``path``. If you provide a content type
(e.g., ``text/xml`` for an XML payload), the contents of ``data`` will be
sent as-is in the POST request, using the content type in the HTTP
``Content-Type`` header.
If you do not provide a value for ``content_type``, the values in
``data`` will be transmitted with a content type of ``multipart/form-data``.
The key-value pairs in the data dictionary will be encoded as a multipart
message and used to create the POST data payload.
Submitting files is a special case. To POST a file, you need only
provide the file field name as a key, and a file handle to the file you wish to
upload as a value. The Test Client will populate the two POST fields (i.e.,
``field`` and ``field_file``) required by FileField. For example::
``field`` and ``field_file``) required by Django's FileField. For example::
c = Client()
f = open('wishlist.doc')
