#28919: WP_Http needs to support custom HTTP status code messages

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 WP_Http has currently no way to get the the status message for a custom
 HTTP status code, because it uses `get_status_header_desc` to map the
 status code to a built-in status message. This provides a problem when
 interacting with APIs that use custom HTTP status codes for error
 messages, for example, because there is no way to know the error message.

 I suggest there be a filter around
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.9.1/src/wp-includes/class-
 http.php#L1402 so it's possible for developers to supply their own status
 message. Something like:

 {{{
 $response['message'] = apply_filters( 'http_status_header_description',
 get_status_header_desc($response['code']), $response['code'], $response );
 }}}

 Providing the response code and full response array would allow developers
 to see the full context when filtering.
