Unicode surrogates in POST data lead to exception

[pcworld]

In requests 2.26.0 with Python 3, when passing unicode strings with surrogate characters as POST data (either directly as a str or as part of a dict), sending the request throws an exception.

Expected Result

The library should not throw an exception, even when fed with unvalidated user input.

Actual Result / Reproduction Steps

>>> import requests
>>> requests.__version__
'2.26.0'

>>> requests.post('https://example.invalid', data={'name': 'test\udced\udcb3\udc83.pdf'})

In requests/models.py, there are several calls like some_string.encode('utf-8'). I suppose changing them to some_string.encode('utf-8', 'surrogatepass') would at least fix the first reproduction case. Not sure about the second, since the exception occurs in http.client there.
