Make defaultMakeClientRequest not depend on IO #1789

The IO wrap for the return type of this function was never necessary. Inside the function there’s only return call that wraps a pure value into IO. There is nothing else that would be related to IO. The IO wrap was introduced in 9df16f9

In order to not break the API again the wrap was preserved but this change makes it to depend on any Applicative instead of IO. So it still works in IO/MonadIO context but allows to use something like Data.Functor.Identity to work with pure values.

See for more context:
#1595

The `IO` wrap for the return type of this function was never necessary.
Inside the function there’s only `return` call that wraps a _pure_ value
into `IO`. There is nothing else that would be related to `IO`.
