Feature: Implement HTTP protocol for refactor API

[phughk]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We would like a synchronous HTTP(S) protocol implemented for the refactor of the API.

The main ways that this would differ from the current implementation are

• shared processing of messages between plaintext websockets and stateless HTTP
• correct type casting to the appropriate rust-like type
• correct parameter handling

This is a big ticket, so do as much as you can and then create more Unimplemented tickets for the missing functionality.

Describe the solution

The HTTP api should at minimum

• connect
• authenticate (via the Unauthenticated interface)
• execute queries (for example, INFO FOR KV only at the moment). This can be a stretch goal.

Alternative methods

I would rather not lift code from the existing implementation.

If possible, we should also use netty for perf gains.

SurrealDB driver v0.2.0 is now delegating the transport to the embedded Rust SDK.
