When we need to write a script requesting an HTTP API with GET method which requires authentication by a request header, it'd be nice if we can simply do:

Net::HTTP.get(URI("https://api.example.com/user"), { "Authorization" => "apikey" })

Currently the arguments of the Net::HTTP.get family are overloaded by (String, String, Integer) and (URI). This ticket aims to extend only the latter one to (URI, Hash).
The new interface will also be consistent with [Feature #12375].
