[Feature Request]: Rest Client - Add Custom Methods

[steewel]

What would you like to happen?

Will be great to have a native support to use custom HTTP Methods over the REST Client transform.

When using the existing option Method field name passing LIST as Method, an exception is raised.

org.apache.hop.core.exception.HopException: 
Can not read result from [ENDPONT]
Request could not be processed
Method [LIST] is unknown! The supported methods are :
GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS

To workaround this today you need to handle those API calls outside of Apache Hop using the Execute a Process transform, which is not ideal and brings some others issues when developing and deploy to different OS (Windows to Linux).

I don't know what are the actual limitations and why it can't handle the request, but if we can pass the Method as field, I thought it would be possible to receive any method your endpoint expect you to use, not just the dafault set.
