Fix classifier error

Due to some changes in the Discourse API, certain methods now work better if redirects are allowed.

Get /c/{id}.json will redirect to /c/{category_slug}.json which will cause the client.category_topics(id) method to fail as the redirect is not followed by default.

Now the keyword arguments to requests.request can be overridden by individual methods. This is implemented for .category_topics
