[QGIS-Developer] QgsBlockingNetworkRequest and PATCH method (Python)

[Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup)]

Plus:

- The requests package might not be installed in UserX's system and thus 
your plugin might just not work unless the user knows how to install 
Python packages manually. urllib would always be available (though it 
does not do PATCH without some tiny monkey patching: 
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9023005/4828720) so use that if you really 
can't use the builtin PyQGIS API.

Cheers, Hannes
