docs: add httpx2 as challenger to HTTP Clients

Pydantic Services took over stewardship of the stalling httpx under the httpx2 name, Starlette already switched its TestClient, and it hit 144M downloads/month (pepy) within 3 months of first release at Production/Stable v2.12.0. Placed last in the challenger tier behind urllib3 per the downloads-descending ordering rule. Fork format and a rewritten description distinguish it from httpx, whose PyPI summary is identical.
