Optimize weather plugin by reusing manager and other refactors
As documented in the http-client library, calling newManager is an expensive operation: ``` Creating a new Manager is a relatively expensive operation, you are advised to share a single Manager between requests instead. ``` But inspite of the haddocks in xmobar claiming that once 'Manager' is created, it will be used throughout the monitor is not true. Because for every call of `startWeather` a new manager is being created. Also I removed the option in WeatherOpts because even if it is false, it will be ultimately created in `getData` function. Also without using a manager - the plugin won't really work. So, I don't think there is any reason for this option to exist. I have introduced a new dependency http-client-tls to use the shared global manager so that we reuse the same manager every time. This simplifies a lot of code. Note that this is not really a new dependency because http-conduit already depends on it transitively.
