Description

From research conducted by @jakermx discovered that Requests module provide Keep-Alive support thanks to urllib3 module,
but the real problem is that the Keep-Alive in the urllib3 module is not enabled by default https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.connection.html and this is not mentioned in Requests module documentations.

By tracking network activities with Wireshark there is a clear evidence of the lack of TCP keep-alive communications,
and enable it seem definitively resolve the errors:
ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error("(104, 'ECONNRESET')",))
ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.n*****x.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=None)
Ref issues: #1004, #914

then this (partially) nullifies the workaround of PR #1046 (read below)

unfortunately the embedded python on Kodi 19 for Windows has been compiled without socket.ioctl therefore is unusable,
i have opened an issue xbmc/xbmc#19204 to ask to fix it and (i hope) will be included on Kodi 19.1
The fix has been merged on Kodi nightly
