GET media/upload (processing status) not possible

[BooDoo]

Can submit a PR (piggy backing on my pending #258) but just wanted to log it so I don't forget:

GET media/upload is now a documented endpoint (for checking processing status of uploaded media by media_id) so current forced content-type: multipart/form-data based on endpoint alone is not longer viable.

Need to also add a check to ensure POST method is requested before using form-data process.

Should be simple, but I can't easily write tests right now since media API is currently throwing a lot of "Over capacity" errors.

I spent a little time recently in the media/upload rabbit-hole. I was able to get status checks working by updating _buildReqOpts to add any parameters to the URL if the request method is GET. Then I can call this:

T.get('media/upload', { command:'STATUS', media_id:mediaIdStr },  function (err, data, response) {
  console.log(data);
});

And get back the expected response.

I can add a test and make a PR if this seems like the right direction. As coded, this could theoretically break some existing GET requests although I don't think that is likely.

@ttezel seeing as you're doing some work on this library again at the moment, is this on your radar?

Just encountered this one myself, which is frustrating now that chunked upload is otherwise finally working again.
Will try muffinista's patch; otherwise, since I don't have time to dig deep into what exactly is added/manipulated between params & finalParams, I'm considering just conditionally skipping the finalParams={} on a GET.

@ttezel Can you reslove this question?
