[Discussion] Use ureq instead of reqwest to limit dependencies.

[jonatino]

Feel free to close if this isn't valid, but I figured I'd ask, are you open to replacing reqwest with ureq? Reqwest has a pretty large dependency tree even with default-features = false and pulling in select features. Ureq is a lot slimmer.

The reason I ask is because reqwest really slows down my build time on systems with low core counts. Since this crate is quite basic and only uses very basic http stuff, would you be open to using ureq instead?

[Proziam]

I'm not necessarily opposed to trimming fat where possible, but it will be a fairly low priority. I've had a lot less time than I'd like to work on these crates lately.

How much of an impact would this change make for you?

[jonatino]

@Proziam in build times a lot (when using github action runners), but I'm not really desperate for it tbh. I only use 1 supabase api anyways so I just call it myself using ureq for now. The only big issue would be is that this library is built on async and ureq is blocking. Perhaps both could be supported in different feature flags?

[Proziam]

There are probably other cases where people might want this, so I'll put this on my todo list for when time permits.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@Proziam awesome. There is also https://github.com/neonmoe/minreq/ which I haven't used personally but I've seen mentioned here and there.
