Refactor WHMCS API response models to remove Pydantic dependency and implement custom serialization methods

- Updated `WHMCSBaseResponse`, `WHMCSErrorResponse`, and `WHMCSSuccessResponse` classes to use standard Python classes instead of Pydantic models.
- Added custom `to_dict`, `to_str`, and `from_json` methods for serialization and deserialization.
- Removed unnecessary imports and simplified the structure of the response models.
- Enhanced error handling in response models to ensure required fields are validated.
- Updated `rest.py` to improve request handling and logging, including support for query parameters.
- Removed deprecated `py.typed` file.
