This PR adds the possibility to perform HTTP/HTTPS requests in a non-blocking way (they are queued up and executed one by one in a separate thread). The requests can be executed via the HttpRequest global function.

Example usage, from the function's docs:

-- GET example (prints a random word)
HttpRequest("GET", "https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/word", function(status, body, headers)
    print("Random word: " .. string.sub(body, 3, body:len() - 2))
end)

-- POST example with JSON request body
HttpRequest("POST", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", '{"userId": 1,"title": "Foo","body": "Bar!"}', "application/json", function(status, body, headers)
    print(body)
end)

-- Example with request headers
HttpRequest("GET", "https://postman-echo.com/headers", { Accept = "application/json", ["User-Agent"] = "Eluna Lua Engine" }, function(status, body, headers)
    print(body)
end)

The following 3rd party libraries are used by this PR:

Another example usage:
(this example requires json.lua)

local json = require("json")

RegisterPlayerEvent(42, function(event, player, command)
    if command == "joke" then
        local guid = player:GetGUID()

        HttpRequest("GET", "https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random", function(status, body, headers)
            local player = GetPlayerByGUID(guid)
            res = json.decode(body)
            player:SendBroadcastMessage(res.value)
        end)
        return false
    end
end)

Result:
