[Development] Request to move qt-labs/qhttpserver out of qt-labs

[Jason H]

I just want to say that the qthttpserver is the most impactful contribution to Qt for me in along time.
Having a http server in Qt has allowed saved me so much work, provide so many additional integrations with ease.
***** would use again.

Given hoe much positive impact it has had, I would like to see it as a main part of Qt though.
