Title: Remove patch method from JGithubHttp

The patch method was added in to the parent JHttp class, making the method in the child JGithubHttp class no longer necessary. Additionally, since the methods have different declarations, this causes a E_STRICT error.

Since the method is only used in the GitHub package, I've opted to totally remove the method instead of deprecating it. Essentially, this leaves no need for the child class at this time, but I've left it for the time being.
