Description
Hi,
I am currently using your library to run a lot of docker containers simultaneously.
I am working on a server with 40+ cores and using a thread-pool to scale up.
Unfortunately your code is limited to a thread-pool of 10 threads due to your initialization of urllib3 here so we cannot run too many threads.
Is it possible to change this behavior and allow the user to set the max connection pool of urllib3?
Thanks a lot

Research direction
Start in docker/transport/unixconn.py at the urllib3 initialization linked in the issue, and trace how the Unix connection transport is constructed. Define how callers can set the maximum connection pool, then verify that the configured value is used without changing the default behavior.
