Replace the request dependency with lighter alternative

[dandv]

If this module is still maintained (#279), any plans to ditch request in favor of something lighter and ideally that works in the browser as well, like cross-fetch? That would also solve #252. CC @frizz925

Hopefully I wasn't too late for this. I'll start working on this issue on my fork by this weekend hopefully https://github.com/Frizz925/node-twitter/issues/1

@dandv @Frizz925 this sounds like a great a idea. I have not looked into this too much, but I imagine replacing the oauth bits and some of the request sugar I am using, may get a little hairy. I will keep my eye out for a patch

@desmondmorris: thoughts on this rewrite using modern underlying libraries?
