Improve syncthing REST client with Swift Codable #61

Currently syncthing daemon HTTP REST calls are handbrewed, we should map them to native objects which is more convienent using https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit

I am pretty sure handbrewed is better than this library because RestKit:

it is too big and does too much,
it depends on old AFNetworking
it has maintenance problems, bugs and questionable design. My advise is to use newest Apple protocol named Codable (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/codable). There is not much work with this and it's robust solution ready for future updates and improvements.

Thanks @leszarna for your comment.
