Upgrade Apache HttpClient to version 5 #154

Description

Apache HttpClient in version 4 is kinda old and not used in newer apps.
Last release was in 2022.

Please consider upgrading client to version 5.

Discussion

No response

Motivation

Newer applications are already using HttpClient 5 and had removed all HttpClient 4 dependencies (like Spring-based 3.x apps).
All components f.e. micrometer for client in version 4 are already deprecated.
I have to individually create an old client with monitoring and custom settings only for PolicyEnforcer purposes.

What Java versions are supported for Apache HttpClient in version 5? We still have a minimal support target for Java 11.

According to: https://downloads.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient/RELEASE_NOTES-5.4.x.txt
minimal Java version is 8 since HttpClient version 5.2

Ok great, yeah don't see why we could not do the upgrade. As long as we're not pushing any user-facing breaking changes because of it. Let me triage this one.
