Request and Request-Promise packages are deprecated [4 XMR]
Just noticed these packages are deprecated.  Not sure if this is possible, but there is a native 'fetch' API that's NodeJS 18+ compatible: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API and  https://blog.logrocket.com/fetch-api-node-js/ that might be nice to use as it's native for browser/Node and doesn't require any extra packages (and allows us to remove packages from monero-javascript!) , but Axios is also a very good, popular and full-featured request library.
