get_page_async() relies on NPM request, which is deprecated

[casselldev]

It is eventually going to be problematic that DDE's get_page_async() function relies on the NPM request package, which was deprecated in 2020 (see here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/request)

Although it mostly still functions, it is worth replacing request with a newer package like fetch or axios to prevent a breaking change down the line.

fetch
is defined in DDE4 both IDE and Job Engine.

Everything will break. Everything has a lifetime. fetch is available now in dde4. request will likely work for decades. Unix should have been retired in 1980. To the detriment of the world, it wasn't :-(
