reqwest is one of the largest contributors of code size and dependencies (including single-author dependencies) to much of the rust-bitcoin ecosystem, including ldk-node.

Thus, Tobin took the time to (ask an LLM to) fork minreq and add async support to it, including async rustls support. As its now a functional HTTP(s) client, its time for the ecosystem to start switching over. Luckily, its ~trivial to do.

I've assigned @tnull as a reviewer!
I'll wait for their review and will help manage the review process.
Once they submit their review, I'll check if a second reviewer would be helpful.
