Replace current webdav-client or write our own. #26

https://github.com/OpenMarshal/npm-WebDAV-Client still uses the deprecated request module.

We should either find alternative implementations (e.g. https://github.com/perry-mitchell/webdav-client/) or alternatively write our own using either the fetch API or e.g. axios).

I guess the performance issues come from npm-WebDAV-Client and I suppose we could actually benefit a lot from an upgrade.

Together with @fedus and @lattam we had some ideas for performance improvements. Some in the client, but some also through extending the Nextcloud API, giving us OCS endpoints to replace the natively slow WebDAV calls. I don't know if either one has some numbers on the impact of webdav-client on all this from profiling ?
