Remove body from POST request in webhook (#5067)

When webhook notification is configured, Minio server tries to lookup the
webhook endpoint by making a POST request with body set as releasetag.
We can remove the body from the POST request as the POST body does not
add any specific value.

This discussion on IETF group says empty POSTs are okay
