missing request.version_string attribute with urllib3 == 2.3.0

[tadams42]

Tried re-creating cassette that causes error.

Works with urllib3 == 2.2.3.

Changing boto3 version doesn't seem to have any impact.

Traceback:

I could workaround this issue with a:

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def patch_VCRHTTPResponse_version_string():
    from vcr.stubs import VCRHTTPResponse
    if not hasattr(VCRHTTPResponse, 'version_string'):
        VCRHTTPResponse.version_string = None
    yield

FYI the new release 7.0.0 should resolve this issue.
