refactor(http): remove bundled Node HTTP client

[TheHypnoo]

Summary

• delete the duplicate perry-stdlib Node HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2 implementation
• keep perry-ext-http as the sole Node HTTP implementation
• retain Web Fetch, Axios, common::dispatch_http, and both external HTTP pumps
• keep the 215-symbol selected perry-ext-http ABI

Evidence

• Removed 2,634 Rust source lines across the four bundled HTTP files.
• Release llvm-nm: 215 selected HTTP symbols in libperry_ext_http.a; no selected definitions in libperry_stdlib.a; zero overlap.
• Release archives: libperry_ext_http.a 74,246,528 bytes; libperry_stdlib.a 72,631,024 bytes.
• Optimized compile smoke for test-files/test_node_http_basic.ts linked and wrote /tmp/perry-phase4-http.

Tests

• cargo check -p perry-stdlib --no-default-features --features web-fetch
• cargo check -p perry-stdlib --no-default-features --features http-client
• cargo test -p perry --bin perry commands::stdlib_features::tests::
• cargo test -p perry --bin perry commands::compile::optimized_libs::tests::
• cargo build --release -p perry-ext-http -p perry-stdlib-static

Known inherited failure

• cargo fmt --all -- --check still fails only in crates/perry-hir/src/lower/builder_fold.rs, inherited from PR refactor(http): merge server implementation into HTTP extension #6826; this branch does not edit that file.

Scope

• Stacked on refactor(http): route HTTP bindings through perry-ffi #6834 (refactor/http-ffi-boundary).
• Ready for merge; retarget to main after the preceding phases land.
