Removing rest-client as a dependency & using native NET:HTTP

[cb-alish]

Replace Deprecated rest-client Dependency with Native Net::HTTP in ChargeBee Ruby SDK

Description:

This PR refactors the ChargeBee Ruby SDK to use Ruby's native Net::HTTP library, replacing the deprecated rest-client dependency. The rest-client gem, which ChargeBee Ruby previously relied on, has been deprecated and is no longer actively maintained. By switching to Net::HTTP, this update:

• Removes an outdated dependency (rest-client) from the SDK, reducing potential security and maintenance concerns.
• Utilizes Net::HTTP for HTTP requests, providing a more modern and lightweight solution aligned with Ruby's core library.
• Maintains existing functionality and ensures compatibility for current users, without changes to the external API of the SDK.

Changes:

• All instances of rest-client have been replaced with Net::HTTP for making HTTP requests.
• Updated error handling and response parsing to match the behavior of rest-client.
• Adjusted headers and request options for compatibility with Net::HTTP.

Testing and Validation:

• Verified successful execution of all existing test cases to confirm that the migration does not impact current functionality.
• This update is intended to be backward-compatible and should not require any changes for existing users of the ChargeBee Ruby SDK.

still need to remove the line 26, right?

  s.add_dependency('rest-client', '>=1.8', '<=2.0.2')

This branch works on our end for the handful of Chargebee API calls we leverage.
