Request is fired to packages.httpie.io on every invocation of `http`

A request is fired to packages.httpie.io on every invocation of http. Not sure if this related to update notifications (#1136). If so, then it seems overkill to check for updates on every single invocation.

You can see and/or block this request using something like opensnitch (linux) or littlesnitch (mac).

Checklist

  • I've searched for similar issues.
  • I'm using the latest version of HTTPie.

Minimal reproduction code and steps

  1. Run http example.com
  2. Use opensnitch/littlesnitch (links above) to view request to packages.httpie.io
  3. Again, run http example.com
  4. Again, use opensnitch/littlesnitch (links above) to view request to packages.httpie.io
  5. repeat...

Current result

Unnecessary/excessive requests to packages.httpie.io.

Expected result

No unnecessary/excessive requests to packages.httpie.io.
