LibWeb: Store HTTP methods and headers as ByteString

The spec declares these as a byte sequence, which we then implemented as
a ByteBuffer. This has become pretty awkward to deal with, as evidenced
by the plethora of `MUST(ByteBuffer::copy(...))` and `.bytes()` calls
everywhere inside Fetch. We would then treat the bytes as a string
anyways by wrapping them in StringView everywhere.

We now store these as a ByteString. This is more comfortable to deal
with, and we no longer need to continually copy underlying storage (as
ByteString is ref-counted).

This work is largely preparatory for an upcoming HTTP header refactor.
