Feature: Routing overload

When user specifies HTTP methods to function handlers, it automatically
will be overloaded unless they duplicate.

Example:

    # This is a new route. It works as before.
    @app.route('/overload', methods=['GET'])
    async def handler1(request):
        return text('OK1')

    # This is the exiting route but a new method. They are merged and
    # work as combined. The route will serve all of GET, POST and PUT.
    @app.route('/overload', methods=['POST', 'PUT'])
    async def handler2(request):
        return text('OK2')

    # This is the existing route and PUT method is the duplicated method.
    # It raises RouteExists.
    @app.route('/overload', methods=['PUT', 'DELETE'])
    async def handler3(request):
	return text('Duplicated')
