Title: Add support to use a custom reason-phrase in response's status line

HTTP protocol uses the *reason-phrase* in the response's status line as a message meant solely for human consumption so is perfectly valid to change that phrase for whatever the api designer needs.
``django.http.HttpResponse`` class should allow users to change the reason-phrase if they need so, for example, through a ``status_text`` attribute.
