According to MIR rules, we need security team ACK to used embedded
llhttp:

"
[Embedded sources and static linking]
RULE: - Embedding a library source increases the maintenance burden of a package
RULE:   since that source needs to be maintained separately from the source in
RULE:   the Ubuntu archive. If a source embeds another package, in general the
RULE:   embedded package should not be used and the packaging should be modified
RULE:   to use the Ubuntu archive version. When this is not possible, the
RULE:   security team must agree to using the embedded source.
"

I'd like to request the security team's approval on this, so we can
switch to the native llhttp vendored in libgit2. Considering the weird
situation of libllhttp being shipped as part of node-undicit, it might
be more reasonable to track libgit2 upstream, using the vendored
dependency. That is at least as long until the bug from comment #3 is
resolved (i.e. having an isolated libllhttp package in the archive).
