AIOHTTP's unicode processing of header values could cause parsing discrepancies

Details

### Summary The Python HTTP parser may allow a request smuggling attack with the presence of non-ASCII characters.

### Impact If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections.
