Comment:

 With the removal of the fopen transport (Which only supported GET
 requests), there is no longer a requirement for a difference in the
 GET/POST transport orders.

 This in addition to #8622 is preventing unit testing of the HTTP API as
 well.

 The following commit replaces _getTransport() & _postTransport() and adds
 a _dispatch_request() private method, the simple purpose of
 _dispatch_request() is to take the $args and determine a transport which
 the request can be made on, and then dispatch the request to that
 transport worker. (In addition, it clarifys the PHPDoc on the return of
 WP_HTTP::request() that it can return a WP_Error instance upon failure)
