This pr uses semaphore to reduce the amount of http requests to 10 concurrent requests at a time in both pip and simplepip. This is to avoid httpclient timing out due to too many requests at a time.
The fix also seems to have made the cd scan run faster. It was initially taking over 30 minutes to run on the vienna repo locally, but after throttling the requests the scan is taking about 23 minutes.
