Description

Currently the only available native is CurlBackend. Let's add a native Cats Effect backend, this should be possible with current support for Scala Native in CE3.
For example, for Scala.js we have a FetchCatsBackend[F[_]: Async] extends AbstractFetchBackend. We might want something similar, based on the AbstractCurlBackend.

Research direction

Compare the Scala.js FetchCatsBackend[F[_]: Async] and AbstractFetchBackend with the native AbstractCurlBackend. Use those entry points to determine the corresponding Cats Effect native backend structure, then verify that a Cats Effect backend is available for Scala Native and follows the existing backend API.
