refactor(httpx): improve and modernize (1/n) (#647)

This PR starts to implement the refactoring described at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1951. I originally wrote more patches than the ones in this PR, but overall they were not readable. Since I want to squash and merge, here's a reasonable subset of the original patches that will still be readable and understandable in the future.
