The shell escape function now properly escapes `%`, `\\` and `\n`. `utils.Popen` as well as `%q` output template expansion have been patched accordingly.
Prior to this fix using `--exec` together with `%q` when on Windows could cause remote code to execute. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/security/advisories/GHSA-hjq6-52gw-2g7p for more details.

The shell escape function is now using `""` instead of `\"`. `utils.Popen` has been patched to properly quote commands.

New networking interface consists of a `RequestDirector` that directs
each `Request` to appropriate `RequestHandler` and returns the
`Response` or raises `RequestError`. The handlers define adapters to
transform its internal Request/Response/Errors to our interfaces.
User-facing changes:
- Fix issues with per request proxies on redirects for urllib
- Support for `ALL_PROXY` environment variable for proxy setting
- Support for `socks5h` proxy
- Closes https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6325, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/22618, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/28093
- Raise error when using `https` proxy instead of silently converting it to `http`
