Remove Alamofire dependency and use native networking library

[moughxyz]

I'm beginning an effort to trim down dependencies cross platform in the name of longevity. There's an easy opportunity here to remove Alamofire and use NSURLSession or NSURLConnection.

I'll start working on this I've been really busy lately. Not many contributions lately

No worries, I think this one can be an easy win.

@jz709u Have you started on this issue/help wanted? If not I would like to start contributing to the project by tackling this @mobitar.

[moughxyz]

It's all yours! This would be a great improvement.

The native networking methods can really be quite buggy.
Sounds like a great improvement though.
Would you like some help @JacobBoyd ?

[JacobBoyd]

Sorry guys, I am starting the this issue now. I was kinda of busy for a while. I will keep this thread updated as I make progress!

I have set up

GET(_ url: String, parameters: [String: Any], completionHandler: @escaping(_ response: Data) -> (), errorHandler: @escaping(_ error: Error) -> ())

and

POST(_ url: String, parameters: [String : Any], completionHandler: @escaping(_ response: Data) -> (), errorHandler: @escaping(_ error: Error)->()) -> Void

Methods for the new class StandardNotesURLSession. I am working on error handling and accepted http status codes. I am also planning to create a .download() for the class.

Feel free to submit the pull request at any time, even if it's still a WIP. This way others can follow along.

How would that work?
