 Background: #33055, #43414, #52622.

 Since the Requests library was introduced in [37428], the `WP_Http_Curl`
 and `WP_Http_Streams` classes are no longer used by WordPress core.

 The only two methods referencing these classes are:
 * `WP_Http::_get_first_available_transport()`
 * `WP_Http::_dispatch_request()`

 `::_dispatch_request()` was marked as deprecated in favor of
 `WP_Http::request()` in [42766] & [44346] / #43414.

 To avoid confusion:
 * `WP_Http_Curl` and `WP_Http_Streams` classes should be marked as
 deprecated in favor of `WP_Http`.
 * `WP_Http::_get_first_available_transport()` should be marked as
 deprecated too, its purpose is now served by
 `\WpOrg\Requests\Requests::get_transport_class()`.
