Replace qs, query-string, parse-url and others with built-in URL / URLSearchParams APIs and picoquery

[talentlessguy]

Yet another umbrella issue, I think we can close #5, #3 , #2 , #8 , #9, #4, #69 and track these here.

URL is fully since Node 10+, URL.parse since Node 22, URL.canParse since Node 19 (20 LTS).
URLSearchParams is fully supported since Node 10+.

Below is a table of what should be replaced with what:

Package	API
qs	URLSearchParams or picoquery or neoqs
query-string	URLSearchParams
parse-url	URL / URL.parse

• • hard to replace since URL does not support SSH-like URLs with usernames and passwords
