Depend on PSR-18 instead of Guzzle.

[tarjei]

Proposal:
When working on projects that use many different external APIs, depending on a concrete version of one http library can become a problem. It would help a lot if influx-client-php could depend on PSR-18 instead so that the concrete version of the library could vary more.

Current behavior:
Today the library depends on a given Guzzle version.

Desired behavior:
The guzzle dependencies switched to depending on http/common instead. See Mailguns PHP lib for an example.

Use case:
When working on projects that use many different external APIs, depending on a concrete version of one http library can become a problem. We are still running Guzzle 6.x and may have to do busywork just to use influxdb-client-php.

Hi @tarjei,

thanks for using our client.

Is this something you might be willing to help with?

@bednar I'm sorry, but not at the moment no :)
