All HTTP requests made by this module are sent to the same delegate
host. Browsers throttle the number of concurrent requests per hostname.
Right now the limit is 6 per host, which suffocates connection pool to the delegate
blocking it from being used for preload in js-ipfs or delegated content routing.

This PR:

Context: libp2p/js-libp2p-delegated-content-routing#12

All HTTP requests made by this module are sent to the same delegate
host. Browsers throttle the number of concurrent requests per hostname,
right now it is 6 per host, which suffocates the use of delegate and
blocking it from being used for preload or delegated content routing.

This introduces a task queue that limits the number of concurrent
requests, making it safe to run in browser context.
