libbnetapi: BUrlRequest now outputs to BDataIO

Previously, BUrlRequest returns data received via a callback that can't
return any value. This approach have several issues:

- It's not possible to signify failures to the request.
- Users have to implement custom listeners just to handle the common
case of outputting to a buffer/file/etc.
- The received data has to be serialized into BMessage when
BUrlProtocolDispatchingListener is employed. This can cause a
noticible slowdown in real-world scenarios as evident by #10748.

With this change, BUrlRequest will output directly into a BDataIO, which
exposes a richer API for request handlers to work with (for example a
BitTorrent client can request a BPositionIO for non-linear data
delivery), as well as simplifying common cases for users.

The adaptation only requires one additional API:
BHttpRequest::SetStopOnError(). This API simply instructs the HTTP
request handler to cancel the request if an HTTP error is occurred.

libnetservices.a: Put the experimental API into BPrivate::Network namespace

In order to prevent classes between libnetapi.so with the legacy API and
applications using the libnetservices.a library, the latter will have the
classes in a distinct namespace.

In the implementation, both libbnetapi.so and libnetservices.a will use the
same header and source files. If LIBNETAPI_DEPRECATED is defined during build,
the headers and source will have binary compatible behavior. Otherwise, the
classes and other objects will be put in the HaikuExt namespace.

In order to build the libbnetapi.so and libnetservices.a with the proper
build configuration, there is a stub `src/kits/net/libnetapi_deprecated` folder
that applies the special configuration to the source files.

Currently HaikuDepot, Webpositive, libshared.a and the http_streamer add on
use the compatible API in libbnetapi.so.

libnetapi.so: make headers of deprecated classes private

These classes have been moved to the public API too soon, and they need some
more time to mature before they can be declared stable.
