New description:
The documentation makes it clear that I can provide an `HTTP_USER_AGENT`
to the test client's methods, but it would have been nice to have it
documented that the defaults exist, and how useful they are.

Comment:
Defaults can also be passed in `Client.__init__`. Basically, these values
just update the WSGI `environ` dictionary. There is no fixed list.
The values from the keywords argument to the`get`/`post`/etc. methods have
precedence, then those passed in `__init__`, and then the defaults.
Indeed, this isn't documented.
