http_server: Ready to support Async 2.0 gem

[Watson1978]

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #

What this PR does / why we need it:
http_server plugin helper doesn't work with Async 2.x gem due to using obsolete usage.
This PR updates it to follow current documented way:
https://github.com/socketry/async-http/blob/0a65acd7cf7486e1877f0da86580e1692cd8207b/readme.md#usage
It's applicable both Async 2.x & Async 1.x.
But this PR still stay on Async 1.x because io-event gem which is required by Async 2.x can't build on Windows.

• TODO
  • Fix Build error with Ruby 3.1 on Windows
    • Build error with Ruby 3.1 on Windows socketry/io-event#111
  • Solve "private method `raise' called for nil (NoMethodError)" error if stop Async HTTP server socketry/async-http#176
  • Replace cool.io gem to something
    • cool.io introduces IO::Buffer which conflicts with Ruby core classes. It affects the behavior of the Async HTTP server.
    • Ref. Async HTTP Server does not respond on Windows if cool.io gem is loaded socketry/async-http#175
  • Change namespace of IO::Buffer to Coolio::Buffer socketry/cool.io#82

Docs Changes:

How are you using cool.io? Can you replace it with Async?

By the way, I'm sorry that this is complicated, I did not intend for this to become a big problem. I'm happy to advise or help out.

Thanks for your comment!
We have an idea to migrate to Async for quite some time:
https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/wiki/Roadmap-and-Development-tasks#v1
but we haven't started migrating it yet because Fluentd depends on cool.io deeply, it's our fundamental event loop mechanism.

We may need to start considering it now.

Is it exposed to user code or is it all internal implementation?

Partially wrapped by our API but Coolio's classes are exposed to plugins.
Probably many built-in & third-party plugins use them.
e.g.)

fluentd/lib/fluent/plugin/in_tail.rb

Lines 821 to 849 in 7f13c7a

	class StatWatcher < Coolio::StatWatcher
	def initialize(path, log, &callback)
	@callback = callback
	@log = log
	super(path)
	end
	def on_change(prev, cur)
	@callback.call
	rescue
	@log.error $!.to_s
	@log.error_backtrace
	end
	end
	class TimerTrigger < Coolio::TimerWatcher
	def initialize(interval, log, &callback)
	@log = log
	@callback = callback
	super(interval, true)
	end
	def on_timer
	@callback.call
	rescue => e
	@log.error e.to_s
	@log.error_backtrace
	end
	end

I see, it's a tricky change then.

One option would be to change cool.io to rename IO::Buffer to it's own namespace, e.g. cool.io::IOBuffer (which would make more sense anyway).

Rebased with master in order to run CI with cool.io gem v1.9.0

Ah, we also need to fix io-event compiling on Windows, I'll sort it out.

@ioquatix If you have a time, I want you will take an action for socketry/io-event#112 🙏🏻

I've tried it with in_monitor_agent, it works fine for me.
Thanks a lot!

Awesome!
