HTTP Client: decodes Unicode entities and character escapes in JSON replies

PhpStorm 2018.2. introduces the long-awaited feature in the HTTP client: support for Unicode symbols and character escape sequences in the HTTP response body. Now you can inspect your responses in a natural manner, without looking into the characters table to find out what these magical letters actually translate to.
