#37618: String `$args['body']` passed to`WP_Http::get()` is lost, generates warning

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Calling `wp_remote_get( 'https://www.example.com', array( 'body' => 'foo'
 ) )` eventually passes `'foo'` to `http_build_query()`, generating a
 warning: `Parameter 1 expected to be Array or Object. Incorrect value
 given in /wp-includes/Requests/Transport/cURL.php on line 507` (or `/wp-
 includes/Requests/Transport/fsockopen.php on line 353`).

 As far as I can tell, the 'body' value is also not included in the
 eventual request, but it is included with the same `wp_remote_get()` in
 4.5.3.

 I'm not comfortable enough with the HTTP API changes in this cycle to
 attempt a patch, if one is warranted.
