Fix a bug due to which setting a custom Content-Type header in the
Request led to multiple Content-Types being set on the sent
XMLHttpRequest: first the detected content type based on the request
body, followed by the custom set content type.
Fix#9130.
Automatically recognize XSRF protection cookies, and set a corresponding XSRF
header. Allows applications to configure the cookie names, or if needed,
completely override the XSRF request configuration by binding their own
XSRFHandler implementation.
Part of #8511.
Taken into account the withCredentials property within the request options:
- added corresponding property in the RequestOptions class
- added corresponding property in the Request class
- handle this property when merging options
- set the withCredentials property on the XHR object when specified
Added a test in the xhr_backend_spec.ts to check that the property is actually
set on the XHR object

Implement the ability to provide objects as request body. The following use cases
are supported:
* raw objects: a JSON payload is created and the content type set to `application/json`
* text: the text is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* URLSearchParams: a form payload is created and the content type set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
* FormData: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* Blob: the object is used as it is and the content type set with the value of its `type` property if any
* ArrayBuffer: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
