Issue:
--http[s]-proxy does not properly handle schemeless inputs with port due to urllib behavior change in python 3.9

### Description

<!-- Explain the bug as thoroughly as you can. Don't leave out information which is necessary for us to reproduce and debug this issue. -->

While troubleshooting an issue with a project that consumes Streamlink by way of its CLI, I discovered an apparent bug in the interaction between Streamlink and urllib w/r/t how proxy URL inputs are handled - stemming from a behavior change in urllib in Python 3.9.

If the input for `--http[s]-proxy` is provided in host:port or IP:port notation WITHOUT a scheme (e.g. `--http-proxy 127.0.0.1:8050`), the `update_scheme()` function does not actually add a scheme to it under Python 3.9. When the still-schemeless url is then fed to urllib3 for connection setup, it fails with a `ProxySchemeUnknown` exception.

The behavior here appears to be caused by urllib's `urlparse()` function, rather than Streamlink itself, but the intent of the Python developers seems to be that the behavior change is handled by client applications.

Reference:
[44007: urlparse("host:123", "http") inconsistent between 3.8 and 3.9](https://bugs.python.org/issue44007)
which leads to:
[27657: urlparse fails if the path is numeric](https://bugs.python.org/issue27657) as the source of the behavior change

In the latter bug (specifically here: https://bugs.python.org/issue27657#msg371024) it's noted that the behavior change was apparently intentional and consumers of urllib are expected to handle it.

### Expected / Actual behavior

<!-- What do you expect to happen, and what is actually happening? -->

Expected: A scheme-less host:port or ip:port input to a proxy option (e.g. `--http-proxy 127.0.0.1:8050`) should be reformatted by `update_scheme()` to the appropriate format (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:8050`) before being used as input to urllib3.

Actual: *In Python 3.9* the value is used as-is, and because there is no http/https scheme on the URL, urllib3 throws a `ProxySchemeUnknown` exception. (`Proxy URL had no scheme, should start with http:// or https://`).

### Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test

<!-- How can we reproduce this? Please note the exact steps below using the list format supplied. If you need more steps please add them. -->

The observed behavior can be abstracted entirely away from the Streamlink CLI.

In session.py, we have the following (https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/blob/master/src/streamlink/session.py#L279-L285):

```
        elif key == "http-proxy":
            self.http.proxies["http"] = update_scheme("http://", value)
            if "https" not in self.http.proxies:
                self.http.proxies["https"] = update_scheme("http://", value)

        elif key == "https-proxy":
            self.http.proxies["https"] = update_scheme("https://", value)
```

The `update_scheme()` function should apply the appropriate scheme to the URL, but on *Python 3.9* it does not in the case of a schemeless input with port:

```
Python 3.9.5 (default, May 24 2021, 12:50:35) 
[GCC 11.1.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from streamlink import utils
>>> utils.update_scheme("http://", "127.0.0.1:8050")
'127.0.0.1:8050'
>>> utils.update_scheme("https://", "127.0.0.1:8050")
'127.0.0.1:8050'
>>> utils.update_scheme("https://", "localhost:8050")
'localhost:8050'
>>> utils.update_scheme("https://", "localhost")
'https://localhost'
```

Note that the only properly-handled input above was the "schemeless hostname without port" case - any schemeless input _with_ port does not get the expected scheme added.

The root of this issue is actually in urllib, as `update_scheme()` calls `urlparse()` from urllib. In Python 3.8, the `urlparse` call results in the following:

```
Python 3.8.10 (default, May 12 2021, 15:46:43) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from urllib import parse
>>> parse.urlparse('127.0.0.1:8080')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='127.0.0.1:8080', params='', query='', fragment='')
```

Whereas in Python 3.9, the folloiwng occurs:
```
Python 3.9.5 (default, May 12 2021, 15:26:36) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from urllib import parse
>>> parse.urlparse('127.0.0.1:8080')
ParseResult(scheme='127.0.0.1', netloc='', path='8080', params='', query='', fragment='')
```

Note in the latter case, urllib returns the IP address in the `scheme` portion of the tuple instead of ... anywhere else (I'm honestly not sure if it should end up in `netloc` or `path`).

### Log output

The consumer of Streamlink which I was troubleshooting (LazyMan) shells out to Streamlink with `--https-proxy 127.0.0.1:<port>` - a schemeless url with port - as seen here: https://github.com/StevensNJD4/LazyMan/blob/master/src/Objects/Streamlink.java#L45

This results in the following output from LM when run on a system with Python 3.9:

```

In the above, the notable output is the `Proxy URL had no scheme [...]` error which maps to a `ProxySchemeUnknown` exception from urllib3.
