refactor: introduce factory for stdlib http transport (#413)
With this factory, we want to construct ourselves the TLS dialer
so that we can use a dialer wrapper that always sets timeouts when
reading, addressing https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1609.

As a result, we cannot immediately replace the i/e/netx factory
for creating a new HTTP transport, since the functions signatures
are not directly compatible.

Refactoring is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505.
