Replace HTTPie subprocess calls with native libsoup3 async API. This eliminates external dependencies and uses GNOME-standard async patterns. Changes: - Rewrite http_client.py to use libsoup3 Session and Message APIs - Replace threading with GLib async callbacks in window.py - Remove HTTPie dependency from Flatpak manifest - Update documentation to reflect libsoup3 usage Benefits: - No external dependencies (HTTPie removed) - Native GLib async integration (no threading complexity) - Better performance with connection pooling and HTTP/2 support - Cleaner codebase following GNOME development patterns
