Daniel Gasienica b4c6f6733b Add `got` dependency
The plan is to use this for our future HTTP needs as it is:
- modern
- promise based
- popular
- likely to support custom certificate authorities (CAs)

Chosen over the following alternatives:
- superagent (older, promises added later, potential lack of custom CA support)
- axios (no team experience with it; less popular than `got`)
- request (older, heavy-weight, promises not native)
- jQuery (old, trying to move away from jQuery altogether and move towards
  declarative UIs)
- `fetch` (too low-level, no native timeout support)
