Title: Add support for dispatching all requests

All HTTP requests can now be dispatched regardless of their HTTP
method. The dispatchAllRequests property defaults to "false"
in order to retain existing behavior.

The protected final doPatch() method (introduced in 3.2 M2) has
been removed in favor of generic processing for all enums defined
in org.springframework.http.HttpMethod.
