Leorize 78b1442051 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.
