Add support for brotli decoding (#5783)

* Add support for Brotli decoding

When the brotli or brotlicffi packages are installed,
urllib3.util.make_headers() inserts ',br' in the Accept-Encoding header
and decodes br from the answers.

* Create the default Accept-Encoding header once

* Preserve the previous delimiter behavior

* Update prose in quickstart.rst

You can get direct access to the raw response (and even the socket),
if needed as well.
