Create Conversation method not creating
`Canvas.create_conversation()` doesn't appear to be working properly.

If I try to create a conversation using the code bellow, nothing happens.
```
convo = canvas.create_conversation([USER_ID], 'Hello!')
```

The method returns a `PaginatedList`. However, if I iterate over the `PaginatedList`, the conversations are then created in Canvas. I suspect this is due to an odd interaction between PaginatedList and `POST` requests.

Additionally, in my testing, I was unable to successfully add a subject as a keyword argument:

```
convo = canvas.create_conversation([USER_ID], 'Hello!', subject='Test Subject')
```

The subject remained "(No Subject)"
