Backbone Webdav Adapter MKCOL support

Usually Backbone collections cannot be created and just simply exists.
But in the Webdav world they need to be creatable.

This enhancement makes it possible to use a Backbone Model to represent
such collections and when creating it, it will use MKCOL instead of PUT.
