Support for any HTTP method/verb

See original GitHub issue

Describe the feature I’m implementing an External Authentication service for the popular Ambassador API gateway system (https://www.getambassador.io/reference/services/auth-service) and one of the requirements is that the Extauth handler be able to process the same HTTP verb as the original request. Three problems:

In a a self-service microservices architecture I can’t control what developers are using for HTTP verbs. Ambassador is self serve so they might design an API that uses all the HTTP verbs OR (annoyingly) use custom ones. I need to handle that.
It’s tedious to write handlers for all the HTTP verbs Javalin currently knows how to handle.
Using before is non-obvious (but was suggested by @tipsy on Gitter)

Additional context With regards to point #3 perhaps the best way to do this is something like any(methods: Set<String>) where if any of the methods in the provided set match then the handler is invoked. If methods is empty then it matches all verbs.

I’m gonna wrap this one up soon (definitely before GH-330). This triggered that issue but we’re still broken on JDK9+ regardless of this change so I’m not gonna block myself waiting to find time to finish the JDK9+ support.

Don’t worry about it @plombardi89. It is indeed a niche problem, so I will close this as wontfix. If it ever comes up again I will implement it.
