[WIP] Complete HTTP data source tutorial documentation
Complete HTTP data source tutorial with missing sections

@copilot this still skips over the creation of a query. It should at least show a render query and how to add that. Without a query, you can't add a block for HTTP because RDB doesn't know what to generate. Include an example that will work end to end (for a fictional API). |

Added complete query example with input_schema, output_schema, endpoint function, and register_remote_data_block call. The code matches the zip-code-block example pattern and will work end-to-end for the Zip code API. See commit aed3a15. |

The HTTP data source tutorial (
docs/tutorials/http.md) was incomplete, ending abruptly after the "Register the block" section with only a brief mention of following another example.Changes
Added missing sections and complete working code example to match structure of other tutorials (Airtable, Google Sheets, Shopify):
HttpDataSource::from_uuid()input_schema,endpointfunction, andoutput_schemaregister_remote_data_block()call withrender_queryrest-api-block-from-ui-data-sourceexample templateThe code example is based on the zip-code-block and uses the Zippopotam.us API, providing a complete end-to-end working tutorial that users can follow to create their own HTTP data source blocks.
