[Bug 2080872] Re: libgit2: replace unmaintained http-parser dependency with llhttp

[Seth Arnold]

I don't know how to make sure that this doesn't get forgotten in another
cycle or two, but in the meantime I believe this option is less-bad than
the others:

 A/ use the vendored llhttp from libgit2:deps/llhttp/ (not exposed to
the archvie)

Let's do this, get this handled, and do our best to try to remember to
undo this again once llhttp is split apart. (Can we contribute to that
effort and make sure it moves along?)

Thanks

Title:
  libgit2: replace unmaintained http-parser dependency with llhttp

Status in libgit2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in node-undici package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  http-parser has been deprecated [0] for llhttp [1] in libgit2.

  http-parser is unmaintained. There is nobody writing security patches
  for http-parser. It should be removed as a libgit2 dependency and then
  removed from the main archive.

  Note http-parser's MIR clause [2]:

    Security team propose a conditional ACK for promoting http-parser to main
    upon Foundations team's acknowledgment of their commitment in assisting with
    the development of security fixes, in the absence of upstream support, as
    well as their responsibility to ask for demoting the pacakge in the future
    once a suitable alternative is identified and deemed feasible.
