Fix allowed method for ddoc update function
The semantics of PUT [1] are arguably incorrect for executing an
update function on a specified document, since nothing is being
created or updated. Also it's not clear why it would be different from
the POST used for executing an update function for `null` document. [2]
Additionally, the example code-block in this section uses POST:
POST /recipes/_design/recipe/_update/ingredients/SpaghettiWithMeatballs HTTP/1.1
All which lead me to believe that the PUT is a typo.
The actual behavior of CouchDB doesn't help here, since it currently
accepts any method whatsoever:
$ curl -v -u adm localhost:15984/db-1/_design/ddoc/_update/change -X BOGUS
> BOGUS /db-1/_design/bar/_update/change HTTP/1.1
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< content-length: 11
< content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
