With both OtaUpdater and HttpDownloader on esp_http_client
(https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/2074,
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/2075),
checkForUpdate no longer needs its own client and event handler to fetch
the release JSON. It streams the response straight into
ReleaseJsonParser through a new HttpDownloader::fetchUrl(url,
DataCallback) overload, dropping the duplicate esp_http_client setup,
the HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA handler, and the totalBytesReceived file global.
DataCallback hands body chunks to a callback without buffering. The
naive alternative, collecting the ~32KB JSON into a std::string, aborts
under -fno-exceptions: the growing allocation collides with the TLS
session's heap mid-fetch and operator new calls abort().
The OTA install path stays on esp_https_ota (flash-write streaming),
which has no HttpDownloader equivalent.
HttpDownloader.h must precede the lwip (esp_http_client) headers in
OtaUpdater.cpp, or Arduino/SdFat macros collide with lwip.
