Request body middleware

See original GitHub issue

I wanted to make simple REST API with oak but noticed that there is no body field on Request, or worse any way to access underlying ServerRequest’s body. I guess body parsing middleware is missing.

I took a little bit different direction. Instead of a seperate middleware, context.request.body() returns a Promise that will resolve with a parsed body for JSON, URL encoded forms, or text. So basic use cases should just work.

I would like to automagically deal with multi-part forms, but that might be best with seperate middleware, versus baking that into the response. The original net server request is also available publically now which provides the body() and bodyStream() for more advanced use cases.

That API has been significantly update since this issue was closed. What about the current API doesn’t work?
