Fixing default method for an instance always overwritten by get

[Nilegfx]

Fixing #1121

Description

In ./lib/core/Axios.js

config = utils.merge(defaults, this.defaults, { method: 'get' }, config);

The method is always overwritten with the { method: 'get' }, so you are forced to pass the method in each request, like the following:

const myAlwaysPostAPI = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost'
  url    : '/myResource',
});

myAlwaysPostAPI({
  method: 'post', //always forced to pass this in each API call
  data      : {key: 'value'}
});

this also affects

myAPI.defaults.method = 'post'; //does NOT work

Expected Behavier

const myAlwaysPostAPI = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost'
  url    : '/myResource',
  method: 'post'
});

myAlwaysPostAPI({
  data: {key: 'value'}
});

guys, any updates regarding this PR?

I was bitten by this as well. Not being able to set a default request method is definitely a bug, because all other options can be set.

This was fixed in #1342, but I prefer this implementation. Thanks!
