gh-91539: Small performance improvement of urrlib.request.getproxies_environment() (#108771)

 Small performance improvement of getproxies_environment() when there are many environment variables. In a benchmark with 5k environment variables not related to proxies, and 5 specifying proxies, we get a 10% walltime improvement.

+Small (10 - 20%) and trivial performance improvement of :func:`urrlib.request.getproxies_environment`, typically useful when there are many environment variables to go over.
