Add reqwest-native-tls feature flag to allow users to choose between rustls (default) and native-tls for HTTP transports. native-tls uses platform-native TLS implementations: - OpenSSL on Linux - Secure Transport on macOS - SChannel on Windows This is particularly useful for Linux distribution packagers who need to link against system TLS libraries (e.g., OpenSSL) rather than bundling a separate TLS implementation. Linking against system libs ensures security updates are applied system-wide and satisfies distribution packaging policies. Updated documentation to explain the available TLS backend options.
