Description:
------------
On some occations PHP has to work with data sent from different sources. Form data parsing with complex data (arrays) differs from the PHP in Ruby, ASP, JSP and the like. It would be highly beneficial for PHP to have _always_ possibility to determine custom input parser. 

Currently php://input can be only used for this end if input type isn't "multipart/form-data".

php://input is for standard input. Therefore, it does not make sense using 
php://input other than HTML forms. i.e. HTML forms send vars via POST method and 
POST method vars are sent to standard input.

Since PHP only supports GET/POST, we may support other HTTP verbs PUT/DELETE/etc.

php://input can always be used when enable_post_data_reading=0 (since 5.4) and is just the request body - other verbs can already be used.
