 External Libraries: Update Requests library to version 2.0.0.

 This is a major release and contains breaking changes.

 Most important changes to be aware of for this release:
 * All code is now namespaced. Though there is a full backward
 compatibility layer available and the old class names are still supported,
 using them will generate a deprecation notice (which can be silenced by
 plugins if they'd need to support multiple WP versions). See the
 [https://requests.ryanmccue.info/docs/upgrading.html upgrade guide] for
 more details.
 * A lot of classes have been marked `final`. This should generally not
 affect userland code as care has been taken to not apply the `final`
 keyword to classes which are known to be extended in userland code.
 * Extensive input validation has been added to Requests. When Requests is
 used as documented though, this will be unnoticable.
 * A new `WpOrg\Requests\Requests::has_capabilities()` method has been
 introduced which can be used to address #37708.
 * A new `WpOrg\Requests\Response::decode_body()` method has been
 introduced which may be usable to simplify some of the WP native wrapper
 code.
 * Remaining PHP 8.0 compatibility fixed (support for named parameters).
 * PHP 8.1 compatibility.

 Release notes: https://github.com/WordPress/Requests/releases/tag/v2.0.0

 For a full list of changes in this update, see the Requests GitHub:
 https://github.com/WordPress/Requests/compare/v1.8.1...v2.0.0

 This commit also resolves 2 blocking issues which previously caused the
 revert of [52244]:

 * New Requests files are loaded into `wp-includes/Requests/src/`, matching
 the location of the library. In doing so, filesystems that are case-
 insensitive are not impacted (see #54582).
 * Preload: During a Core update, the old Requests files are preloaded into
 memory before the update deletes the files. Preloading avoids fatal errors
 noted in #54562.

 Follow-up to [50842], [51078], [52244], [52315], [52327], [52328].
