Migrate away from request and request-promise

[jlloyd-widen]

request and therefore request-promise have been deprecated for a while. On top of that they are dependent on an old version of tough-cookie for which there is a critical CVE report (CVE-2023-26136). migrating to a different request tool is highly recommended for:

• cube/packages/cubejs-backend-cloud/package.json

  Line 29 in e5d20d2

  "@types/request-promise": "^4.1.46",

• cube/packages/cubejs-cli/package.json

  Line 44 in e5d20d2

  "request-promise": "^4.2.5",

• cube/packages/cubejs-schema-compiler/package.json

  Line 81 in e5d20d2

  "request-promise": "^4.2.4",

There are a number of replacements of these packages listed here. Is there a preference by the community as to what we move to?
