Consolidate http_request block into Core.yaml

[bharvey88]

Version: 26.7.9.1 (no change — no-publish consolidation)

What does this implement/fix?

Moves the http_request: component config — verify_ssl plus the OTA-download buffer_size_rx: 5120 / buffer_size_tx: 2048 (sized for GitHub release-asset headers/URLs) — into Core.yaml, since it was duplicated identically across MSR-1.yaml, MSR-1_BLE.yaml, and MSR-1_Factory.yaml.

One source of truth for the buffer sizes. The ota: and update: platforms that use http_request stay in the variants (they reference the shared component). Compiled output is unchanged.

Walkthrough

ESPHome HTTP request TLS verification and buffer sizes are centralized in Core.yaml. The same settings are removed from the MSR-1, BLE, and Factory device configurations.

Changes

ESPHome HTTP configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared HTTP request configuration Integrations/ESPHome/Core.yaml	Adds http_request settings for TLS verification and enlarged receive/transmit buffers.
Device configuration cleanup Integrations/ESPHome/MSR-1.yaml, Integrations/ESPHome/MSR-1_BLE.yaml, Integrations/ESPHome/MSR-1_Factory.yaml	Removes duplicated device-level http_request settings while retaining the surrounding configuration.

Poem

A rabbit hops through YAML bright,
Central buffers set just right.
TLS guards each winding trail,
Three old blocks now leave no tale.
OTA paths can breathe and run—
“Thump!” says Bun, “the cleanup’s done!”
