fix: break HTTPClient::get() self-reference cycle

get() bound shared_from_this() into mBuild (a member), forming a
this -> mBuild -> shared_ptr<this> cycle that never broke after the
request completed — leaking the HTTPClientImp and its socket FD. mBuild
is only ever invoked from handleRequest(), which always runs inside an
async handler already holding a shared_from_this(), so a non-owning
this is safe and lets the object be destroyed once the request finishes.

Pre-existing (also present upstream in rippled); only the fetch path
uses get(), not the webhook delivery path.
