Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-44431: Remove sensitive headers in proxy pools too
Sensitive headers (Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization) were
already stripped when PoolManager handled cross-host redirects, but not
when a pool obtained via ProxyManager.connection_from_url() handled
redirects directly through connectionpool.urlopen(). This adds the same
header-stripping logic to connectionpool.py.
