Release v0.3.1 - Add HTTP.FormData for form data and file uploads

## Added
- New HTTP.FormData module for handling form data and multipart/form-data encoding
- Support for file uploads with streaming via File.Stream.t()
- Automatic content type detection between url-encoded and multipart
- Form data builder API with fluent interface
- Streaming file uploads for memory-efficient large file handling
- Automatic multipart boundary generation
- Comprehensive test coverage for form data functionality

## Changed
- HTTP.Request now accepts HTTP.FormData.t() as body parameter
- Enhanced content type handling with automatic detection
- Updated README with form data usage examples
- Updated changelog with v0.3.1 release notes

## Fixed
- Test stability for external service dependencies
- HTTP.FormData test assertions to match actual behavior

## Technical Details
- FormData struct with parts array for form fields and file uploads
- Memory-efficient file streaming using Elixir File.Stream.t()
- Backward compatibility maintained for existing string/charlist body usage
- Proper multipart/form-data encoding with boundaries

+### Added
+- **HTTP.FormData module** - New dedicated module for handling form data and multipart/form-data encoding
+- **File upload support** - Support for file uploads with streaming via `File.Stream.t()`
+- **Automatic content type detection** - Automatically chooses between `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data`
+- **Streaming file uploads** - Efficient large file uploads using Elixir streams
+- **Form data builder API** - Fluent interface with `new/0`, `append_field/3`, `append_file/4-5`
+- **Multipart boundary generation** - Automatic random boundary generation for multipart requests
+- **Comprehensive test coverage** - Full test suite for form data functionality
+
+### Changed
+- **HTTP.Request body parameter** - Now accepts `HTTP.FormData.t()` for form submissions
+- **Enhanced content type handling** - Automatic content-type detection and header setting
+- **Improved multipart encoding** - Proper multipart/form-data format with boundaries
+
+### Technical Details
+- **FormData struct** with parts array for form fields and file uploads
+- **Streaming support** via `File.Stream.t()` for memory-efficient file uploads
+- **URL encoding fallback** for simple form data without file uploads
