Requests prior to 2.32.3 always loaded the default (system-wide) set of trusted certificates into custom SSL contexts. 2.32.3 no longer does. This has broken a lot of users, but the fix is moving slowly upstream due to security considerations - see psf/requests#6730 and psf/requests#6731 .

As suggested at psf/requests#6710 (comment) this can be worked around by explicitly loading the default certificates into the context. We check the method exists before calling it just to be safe, it was added in Python 3.4.

Also, drop the dependency pin as it's no longer needed with this workaround.

As we can now work with requests 2.32.3+, we no longer need this
pin.

tweaked to only do anything if there are no certs loaded into the context already, just in case there's some way you could cause custom certs to be used via an environment variable or something.
