get_magic_quotes_runtime() deprecated in 7.4 - replace HTTP_Request2

[mrook]

HTTP_Request2 still uses get_magic_quotes_runtime() and hasn't seen a real release since 2016. We should probably replace this package with something more modern & lightweight.

[kenguest]

Using a PSR18+PSR7 combo would probably be best.

That way we are not tied to using one specific PSR7 library that we might have to later migrate from at a later date due to similar maintenance issues.

With that in mind, I'd suggest implementing with HTTPlug ( http://httplug.io/ ) and perhaps Guzzle.
