Using `Client.get` it’s currently very easy to add new query parameters to
the fake request, you can simply provide them to data argument. Very nice
and ergonomic.
However, for the other HTTP methods, like post, this doesn’t work, since
of course they use the same parameter for their form data. So adding a new
argument to all methods would make it easier to test other HTTP methods.
Since `request.GET` is getting renamed to `query_params`, that would be an
excellent name for the new argument.
This would make it possible to change this type of testing code:
{{{
url = reverse("view_name", args=[obj.id]) + f"?param={val}"
self.client.post(url, data=data)
}}}
to this
{{{
url = reverse("view_name", args=[obj.id])
self.client.post(url, query_params={"param": val"}, data=data)
}}}
`Client.get` would still support setting params via the `data` argument,
to avoid unnecessary deprecation churn in old projects. Using both `data`
and `query_params` together in `Client.get` would throw a `ValueError`.
