What is the current behavior?

The current version of urllib3 used is 1.26.18.

What is the desired behavior?

Update the urllib3 version to 2.2.2.

How would this improve snowflake-connector-python?

The main feature of interest in urllib3 2.2.2 is the support for decompression of zstd when the content-encoding header is set to zstd. This update will allow the connector to handle zstd-encoded content.

A PR with the new version will be created initially to check if all merge gates pass. This is primarily an experimental change to assess compatibility and improvements.
