Title: Allow the data to be overridden by subclasses

This is useful is cases like per-user objects, where objects a user creates are automatically owned by them. The user's ListCreateAPIView subclass can simply override create(), copy the request.DATA, add the request.user to the data, and then use super() to call the parent class with the overridden data.
