Don't use SSLv3

[jdennes]

We have recently disabled support for SSLv3 at GitHub, as it is a very old version of the SSL protocol that is now also known to be vulnerable:

We have had several reports from GitHub users using the Pygithub3 library, complaining of failing requests due to the use of SSLv3 in the library. Here's an example traceback that has been reported:

As far as I can tell this is fixed by upgrading to a newer version of requests, this requires a minor change to the Client class, but it's no biggie. @ray-dino has a fork with the changes here:
ray-dino/python-github3@copitux:master...master

There's also a pull request for the fix by @conorbranagan here: #35

Hello, I installed through pip install pygithub3 and I’m still getting this error. Is it possible that you didn’t push an upgrade to pypi?

Cheers,
