Networking module and JSON conversion functions

[rouzbehsbz]

Introduces the initial version of the net module for the Chap language. It currently supports only the http_get function, with native TLS, HTTP/1.1, and HTTP/2 support, as well as custom headers. The function signature is:

$url [string], $headers [map] -> http get

Here’s a simple example:

"https://dummyjson.com/test" -> http get -> from json

For ease of use with popular REST APIs, two new type-conversion functions have also been added to the Chap language, from_json, which converts a JSON string into Chap-supported data types and to_json, which performs the reverse conversion.

Known issues

• Chap does not support null values yet, so they are currently converted to the string "null".
• Chap’s integer type is 32-bit, so any number larger than this range will cause an overflow.
• No support for the WASM runtime at the moment.
