requests Support in Pyodide

For a long time, the Pyodide community has been requesting support for therequests, Python’s popular HTTP client library. However, due to the limitations of Pyodide running in a browser environment, integrating networking libraries presented challenges. So, traditionally, if you needed to do something networking-related in Pyodide, you would need to use the pyfetch API, which is a wrapper around the browser’s fetch API.
