Replace dependency `requests` with `httpx`

[cclauss]

Feature description

https://pypi.org/project/requests is becoming less popular.
https://pypi.org/project/httpx is a next-generation HTTP client for Python.

Edit the file requirements.txt to remove requests and add httpx. Keep the file sorted alphabetically.

Python/requirements.txt

Line 11 in 485f688

requests

Edit the file .pre-commit-config.yaml to remove additional_dependencies: [types-requests]

Python/.pre-commit-config.yaml

Line 58 in 485f688

additional_dependencies: [types-requests]

Modify the 36 Python files that import requests to use httpx instead.

If an algorithm does multiple httpx calls, consider if the AsyncClient should be used.

Add PEP723 headers to allow the scripts to be run standalone.

+ # /// script
+ # requires-python = ">=3.13"
+ # dependencies = [
+ #     "httpx",
+ # ]
+ # ///

• Add PEP723 header to scripts/validate_solutions.py #12731
