Rails 4.x and earlier didn't support `Mime::Type[:FOO]`, so libraries
that support multiple Rails versions would've had to feature-detect
whether to use `Mime::Type[:FOO]` or `Mime::FOO`.
`Mime[:foo]` has been around for ages to look up registered MIME types
by symbol / extension, though, so libraries and plugins can safely
switch to that without breaking backward- or forward-compatibility.
Note: `Mime::ALL` isn't a real MIME type and isn't registered for lookup
by type or extension, so it's not available as `Mime[:all]`. We use it
internally as a wildcard for `respond_to` negotiation. If you use this
internal constant, continue to reference it with `Mime::ALL`.

Non-kwargs requests are deprecated now.
Guides are updated as well.
`post url, nil, nil, { a: 'b' }` doesn't make sense.
`post url, params: { y: x }, session: { a: 'b' }` would be an explicit way to do the same
In the current router DSL, using the +match+ DSL
method will match all verbs for the path to the
specified endpoint.
In the vast majority of cases, people are
currently using +match+ when they actually mean
+get+. This introduces security implications.
This commit disallows calling +match+ without
an HTTP verb constraint by default. To explicitly
match all verbs, this commit also adds a
:via => :all option to +match+.
