Speed up function _init by 11% in src/requests/status_codes.py

[Saga4]

Reason for Raising the PR

The changes aim to optimize the given requests library code for better performance and most widely used function status_Code, we think we can make a few improvements. This includes eliminating unnecessary global variable modifications and reducing redundant iterations. Also we have removed the sorted function call as _codes is statically defined in the code and its keys are already in ascending order, sorting becomes unnecessary.

📄 _init() in src/requests/status_codes.py

📈 Performance improved by 11% (0.11x faster)
The _init() function is executed every time the requests.status_codes module is imported. Given the widespread usage of this library, even minor inefficiencies can have a significant cumulative impact across applications.

⏱️ Runtime went down from 4.45 milliseconds to 4.01 milliseconds (best of 118 runs on ubuntu machine)

Changes Made.

1. Merged Initialization Loops: Instead of updating the __doc__ attribute in a separate loop, the document string is constructed during the main loop.
2. Minimized Global Access: The global __doc__ is only modified once after the loop, avoiding repeated global lookups.
3. Avoided Redundant Code: Reduced the code by merging the setting of doc lines into a single list append inside the loop.

These changes should make the function more efficient in terms of runtime while preserving the original functionality.
