Support Plain Text Request

[zackify]

We should support this:

let response = await request`
    url: https://api.myapp.com/register
    method: POST
    headers: {"Authorization":"Bearer: token"}
    body: {"email":"test@test.com","password":"secret"}
  `

Why? Because documenting an api could be done this way, which would allow end users to copy and paste the exact string and run the request. Does it sound cool?

I think this would be covered by #10. I envision a check being done on the body value and being able to handle multiple different formats, including an already-stringified/plain text value.

Something else to consider would be this scenario:

let response = await request`
    url: https://api.myapp.com/register
    method: POST
    headers: {"Authorization":"Bearer: token"}
    body: {"email":${email},"password":${password}}
  `

The parser right now can't replace multiple values on the same line. It could be refactored to do so. Still, if a user is going to pass an object to the body with dynamic values, it would be best to make the whole object a variable, like so:

let response = await request`
    url: https://api.myapp.com/register
    method: POST
    headers: {"Authorization":"Bearer: token"}
    body: ${{
        email: email,
        password: password
    }}
  `

Do you think it's worth creating another ticket to allow for multiple variables to be passed per line? I can envision the following scenario: url: ${host}/${endpoint}

If you want to sure, I would be okay with telling people they have to use one variable per line, ex ${``${host}/${endpoint}``} but more flexible, the better. ignore the double backtick. idk how to escape them lol
