Better specify type for put/post data params

[Calamari]

Since #3549 (comment) made it clear that post/put/patch calls have to use objects (or probable also stringified versions of those), the TypeScript type should reflect this fact, to avoid more problems/bug reports regarding this.

So maybe instead of currently doing this (index.t.ds)

  post<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: any, config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;
  put<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: any, config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;
  patch<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: any, config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;

it is useful to do

  post<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: string | object, config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;
  put<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: string | object config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;
  patch<T = any, R = AxiosResponse<T>>(url: string, data?: string | object, config?: AxiosRequestConfig): Promise<R>;

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Environment

• Axios Version 0.21.0

Side note:
I also wonder why the decision is made, since if I would send out an application/json request, I would be able to send everything as payload that is or can be stringified as JSON (which also includes just a boolean (e.g. false) or a number (e.g. 0).
