[Feature] Add PostToHTTP command for HTTP POST

[TD-er]

As mentioned on the forum

A new command, like SendToHTTP, but then to make a HTTP POST call.

Not sure yet about what parameters it may need as the arguments of what to POST may be a bit tricky.
Perhaps it can be a single string? (N.B. the URL is of course also a separate string)

I need this very much, when you want to update an item in OpenHAB thru the REST API it requires the HTTP method to be POST.

I want to use a ESPEasy rule to update an OpenHAB item, currently the SendToHTTP command uses the HTTP GET method.

@BasvanH I have created a PR implementing the PostToHTTP command, can you test from the Github Actions build (once that's finished) to see if this fits your usage scenario?

[BasvanH]

@tonhuisman, great, yes I will conduct tests and report back here.

@tonhuisman, Ive successfully used the PostToFTTP in a rule to make POST requests to the OpenHAB REST API.
