Wrap the Rust HTTP client with make_deferred_yieldable (#18903)

Wrap the Rust HTTP client with `make_deferred_yieldable` so downstream
usage doesn't need to use `PreserveLoggingContext()` or
`make_deferred_yieldable`.

> it seems like we should have some wrapper around it that uses
[`make_deferred_yieldable(...)`](40edb10a98/docs/log_contexts.md (where-you-create-a-new-awaitable-make-it-follow-the-rules))
to make things right so we don't have to do this in the downstream code.

> *-- @MadLittleMods,
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18357#discussion_r2294941827*

Spawning from wanting to [remove `PreserveLoggingContext()` from the
codebase](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18870) and thinking
that we [shouldn't have to pollute all downstream usage with
`PreserveLoggingContext()` or
`make_deferred_yieldable`](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18357#discussion_r2294941827)

Part of https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18905 (Remove
`sentinel` logcontext where we log in Synapse)
