Named client

[Arthur-Lee]

Hi, I just found the PR #1418 which has already added named client. However I don't find the IRefitHttpClientFactory in the main branch.

Is there any plan to add this feature back? The named client can be very useful in some case.

### Providing a custom HttpClient

[Arthur-Lee]

I don't think the custom HttpClient can help in this scenario. Let me be more specific and take an example.

1. If we have two downstream service, they share same OpenAPI schema.
2. The middleware needs call the two downstream service by conditions.
3. If there is only one downstream service, it will be fine. I can create ISomeApi, and bind the URL.

However the two downstream service share same Http schema. It seems that I can't inject two ISomeApi object with different name, and retrieve the ISomeApi object by the name just like HttpClient

builder.Services.AddHttpClient<SimpleClient>("one", client => client.BaseAddress = new("http://url_one"));

builder.Services.AddHttpClient<SimpleClient>("two", client => client.BaseAddress = new("http://url_two"));

IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory;
var client = (SimpleClient)httpClientFactory.CreateClient("one");
