AsyncRequestFactory.get() ignores data parameter

[Pochang Lee]

When passing data to AsyncRequestFactory.get(),
the resulting request.GET always gives an empty QueryDict

>>> request_factory = AsyncRequestFactory()
>>> request = request_factory.get('/somewhere/', {'var': '100'})
>>> request.GET
<QueryDict: {}>

while in synchronous

>>> request_factory = RequestFactory()
>>> request = request_factory.get('/somewhere/', {'var': '100'})
>>> request.GET
<QueryDict: {'var': ['100']}>

This also prevents AsyncClient.get() from passing GET parameters to view function.

Thanks for the report, good catch. I think the following should do the trick:

diff --git a/django/test/client.py b/django/test/client.py
index 4a0b6b45f4..b4c091aa5c 100644
--- a/django/test/client.py

Would you like to prepare a patch? (tests are also required).
