Use Gin framework instead of "net/http"

[SnoopWS]

To improve performance and readability, consider replacing "net/http" with the Gin framework.

Gin is a web framework written in Go that's been around for a long time and leverages and builds upon the standard net/http package. It offers several benefits over using the net/http package alone.

Git: https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin
Documentation: https://gin-gonic.com/docs/

Some of the benefits of Gin include:

Significant performance gains over raw net/http according to benchmarks. Gin can handle requests up to 40x faster.
Built-in support for rendering JSON, XML and other formats. This removes the need to write your own serialization logic.
Robust HTTP error handling. Gin allows you to return errors with rendered templates, making error handling more flexible.
Middleware support. Gin has built-in support for middleware, making it easy to add functionality like logging, security, and more to your API.
Powerful routing. Gin offers wildcard, parameter, and regex routing, providing more functionality than net/http routing.
Personally, it would be a big jump for Baloo proxy as it's not really that hard to implement as it's built based on net/http is a lot faster at reading requests in specific cases like routing specifically redirects which is widely used in baloo proxy.
