Description
Avoid unnecessary data collection conversion by making use of urllib3's HTTPHeaderDict for request headers & response headers. Currently request http headers are placed in a CaseInsensitiveDict but before a request is made the headers are converted to urllib3's HTTPHeaderDict & similar seems to occur for responses (in reverse).

Research direction
Start by tracing how request and response headers move between Requests and urllib3, comparing CaseInsensitiveDict with urllib3's HTTPHeaderDict in the linked files. Done means unnecessary header conversions are removed while request and response header behavior remains unchanged.
