@flotwig we should move off of @cypress/request since request was put into maintenance mode and won't be accepting any fixes. Thoughts?

[flotwig]

@JessicaSachs I agree. We use the fork at https://github.com/cypress-io/request but it is limiting since there's no support for HTTP2, QUIC, retries, etc... It would improve our code base and make the proxy layer faster if we switched to a modern request lib that speaks HTTP/2/3.

Related issue on HTTP/2: #3708

We can avoid this deprecation issue today by upgrading the dep in @cypress/request.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#17813, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

Released in 8.3.1.
