Initialize HTTParty requests with an URI object and a String.

[bradgessler]

Change URI.parse(uri) to URI(uri) so that HTTParty consuming code can make requests with:

uri = URI('http://www.google.com/')
HTTParty.get(uri)

as opposed to

uri = URI('http://www.google.com/')
HTTParty.get(uri.to_s)

without throwing and invalid URI exception.

Seems sane. Not sure why we would force to_s. I'll merge and hope I don't break anything. :)

@jnunemaker thanks!

FYI: here's the "why" for the to_s I was talking about.

irb(main):001:0> require 'uri'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> google = URI.parse('http://google.com/')
=> #<URI::HTTP:0x007fe4821a1620 URL:http://google.com/>
irb(main):003:0> URI(google) # The new way, it just works!
=> #<URI::HTTP:0x007fe4821a1620 URL:http://google.com/>
irb(main):004:0> URI.parse(google) # Oh no! URI.parse requires a string
URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): http://google.com/

    from /Users/bradgessler/.rbenv/versions/2.1.0/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
irb(main):005:0> URI.parse(google.to_s) # Ewww...
=> #<URI::HTTP:0x007fe481967ef0 URL:http://google.com/>

URI.parse demands a string, URI is cool with a string and an URI.

Yep, I got what you were saying. It really should be fine.
