Don't add empty json from default dictionary to GET payloads to avoid 403 from jira API.

Proposal to resolve #1945

I am an engineer for Atlassian, but this is a 3rd party library not directly maintained by us. We have submitted a PR here out of good will to the community. But I nor anyone I know here at Atlassian have the ability to label, approve or merge this PR.

This library is owned by pycontribs https://github.com/pycontribs . I have emailed them here [email protected]

We can also try to mention others who have contributed, such as @studioj @adehad @ssbarnea .

@kanak-kabara you could try doing a pip install of the proposed fix like so

pip install git+https://github.com/bmcalary-atlassian/jira.git@Dont-add-empty-json-from-default-dictionary-to-GET-payloads-to-avoid-403-from-jira-API

Or you could try cloning the main branch from the official project to disk, and patching it locally before doing a pip install.

I was able to successfully install the project and use it in a python script.

@bmcalary-atlassian The pip install worked, and the fix looks good! Thanks a ton for the suggestion. We will keep things pinned until this is merged.
