feat: Add URI struct support for URL handling

- HTTP.fetch/2 now accepts both String.t() and URI.t() types
- All internal representations use %URI{} instead of strings for better type safety
- HTTP.Request and HTTP.Response structs updated to use URI.t() for URL fields
- Automatic conversion from string to URI for backward compatibility
- Updated streaming functions to work with URI structs
- Enhanced documentation in README with URI usage examples
- Updated CHANGELOG with detailed refactoring notes
- All tests updated and passing

Maintains full backward compatibility while providing enhanced type safety
and flexibility for URL handling.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **URI struct support** - HTTP.fetch/2 now accepts both string URLs and %URI{} structs
+- **Enhanced URL handling** - Automatic conversion from string to %URI{} for internal processing
+- **Type safety improvements** - HTTP.Request and HTTP.Response now use %URI{} internally
+
+### Changed
+- **Refactored URL handling** - All internal representations now use %URI{} instead of string
+- **Updated type specifications** - HTTP.Request.url type changed from String.t() | charlist() to URI.t()
+- **Updated Response.url type** - Changed from String.t() to URI.t()
+- **Updated function signatures** - handle_httpc_response and related functions now accept URI.t()
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Backward compatibility** - String URLs are automatically parsed to URI structs
+- **Consistent URI handling** - All internal operations use parsed URI structs
+- **Eliminated redundant parsing** - Removed duplicate URI.parse calls in streaming functions
+- **Enhanced type safety** - Stronger typing throughout the codebase
+- **Updated test suite** - Request tests updated to use URI.parse/1 for consistency
