chore: Replace request to node-fetch, #1076

[Dima-Dim]

• All tests pass
• I have run npm run doc

About tests:
I don't have TEST_STICKER_SET_NAME and TEST_PROVIDER_TOKEN to run the tests related to them. The rest of the test pass normally.

Description

Getting rid of deprecated dependencies request.

Looks like a good change if all tests pass, though Node.js has a built in fetch API in newer version (18+).

Yes, after some time it will be possible to try to completely switch to a native solution, but i think no before end of support version older than 18.

Your change literally removed the request dependency. The core _request function of NTBA depends on request-promise (also deprecated), which has request as a peer-dependency. So you should replace it with node-fetch or other solutions.

Yes, this PR is the first step. The next one will require more changes and more time.

For the moment we have already a remplace for the request library merge and without need to drop support for the current old versions.

In a future completed refactor, we will be drop the support for older versions of node. But for the moment we still preserve the compatibility.
