Replacing Request.js with Got

See original GitHub issue

As you probably know Request.js has been officially deprecated since Feb 11, 2020. Request.js is the HTTP library that Artillery uses under the hood.

Work on moving to Got.js is already underway and is expected to complete soon.

Why Got

Lots of features, see the feature comparison table for details. HTTP/2 support is especially promising.
Actively developed & maintained.
Migration looks to be quite straightforward.

When

~~Soon™️. A preview release should be available in the next few days.~~

Update 10/05 master is now fully-migrated to Got.js with full-backwards compatibility. The plan is to increase test coverage before marking the work as done.
