kgriffs 8778103541 doc(reference): Improved and annotated Request docstrings
The Request docstrings were modified so that now attributes and properties
are both documented in the class docstring, and class members were
reordered to be grouped more logically so that browsing the source as
well as reading the docs is easier.

Also, None was annotated across multiple files, and some minor tweaks to
introductory prose were completed.

"""Represents a client's HTTP request.
Note:
Request is not meant to be instantiated directory by responders.
Args:
env (dict): A WSGI environment dict passed in from the server. See
also the PEP-3333 spec.
Attributes:
protocol (str): Either 'http' or 'https'.
method (str): HTTP method requested (e.g., GET, POST, etc.)
user_agent (str): Value of the User-Agent header, or *None* if the
header is missing.
app (str): Name of the WSGI app (if using WSGI's notion of virtual
hosting).
env (dict): Reference to the WSGI *environ* dict passed in from the
server. See also PEP-3333.
uri (str): The fully-qualified URI for the request.
url (str): alias for ``uri``.
relative_uri (str): The path + query string portion of the full URI.
path (str): Path portion of the request URL (not including query
string).
query_string (str): Query string portion of the request URL, without
the preceding '?' character.
accept (str): Value of the Accept header, or '*/*' if the header is
missing.
auth (str): Value of the Authorization header, or *None* if the header
is missing.
client_accepts_json (bool): True if the Accept header includes JSON,
otherwise False.
client_accepts_xml (bool): True if the Accept header includes XML,
otherwise False.
content_type (str): Value of the Content-Type header, or *None* if
the header is missing.
content_length (int): Value of the Content-Length header converted
to an int, or *None* if the header is missing.
stream (io): File-like object for reading the body of the request, if
any.
date (datetime): Value of the Date header, converted to a
`datetime.datetime` instance. The header value is assumed to
conform to RFC 1123.
expect (str): Value of the Expect header, or *None* if the
header is missing.
range (tuple of int): A 2-member tuple parsed from the value of the
Range header.
The two members correspond to the first and last byte
positions of the requested resource, inclusive. Negative
indices indicate offset from the end of the resource,
where -1 is the last byte, -2 is the second-to-last byte,
and so forth.
Only continous ranges are supported (e.g., "bytes=0-0,-1" would
result in an HTTPBadRequest exception when the attribute is
accessed.)
if_match (str): Value of the If-Match header, or *None* if the
header is missing.
if_none_match (str): Value of the If-None-Match header, or *None*
if the header is missing.
if_modified_since (str): Value of the If-Modified-Since header, or
None if the header is missing.
if_unmodified_since (str): Value of the If-Unmodified-Sinc header,
or *None* if the header is missing.
if_range (str): Value of the If-Range header, or *None* if the
header is missing.
headers (dict): Raw HTTP headers from the request with
canonical dash-separated names. Parsing all the headers
to create this dict is done the first time this attribute
is accessed. This parsing can be costly, so unless you
need all the headers in this format, you should use the
``get_header`` method or one of the convenience attributes
instead, to get a value for a specific header.
