'request' and 'request-promise-native' deprecated.

[jonathan-r-thorpe]

'request' and 'request-promise-native' have been deprecated for a while which can lead to broken installations when installing on a fresh system (this can be worked around by executing npm i request-promise after the install).

However, an alternative to request needs to be found.

This issue suggests some alternatives, and although the suggestions are more than 4 years old, Axios seems to have some popularity and is still being actively developed.

Thoughts?
