PreparedRequest instances are modified by responses

[Colin-b]

Describe the bug

As you can see in

responses/responses/__init__.py

Line 1067 in b68e513

request.params = self._parse_request_params(request.path_url) # type: ignore[attr-defined]

responses, is modifying PreparedRequest instances to incorporate additional attributes.
This is fine in the context of responses, this is not however when this data is returned to the clients.

Could you modify responses so that the behavior from a client perspective is the one of requests (ie: no additional attributes in objects) ?

Thanks again

Additional context

In the context of writing tests against HTTP behavior that cannot be reproduced with a real live scenario (such as an HTTP failure response from the server), I am trusting my test suite to be able to handle those scenarios and if I see that a PreparedRequest contains an attribute, I assume it will exists in production code as well the day such issue will occur (could be years after deployment time in such scenarios).

Version of responses

0.25.3

Steps to Reproduce

import requests
import responses

def test_params_in_prepared_request():
    responses.get("https://the_test.url", status=403)
    response = requests.get("https://the_test.url?param=value")
    try:
        response.raise_for_status()
    except requests.RequestException as e:
        print(e.request.params)  # Without responses, an AttributeError will be raise ('PreparedRequest' object has no attribute 'params')

Expected Result

I expect the same failure as in production in my test run

Actual Result

The AttributeError is not raised when accessing params on a PreparedRequest

So where would you put the additional state that responses needs and do it in a backwards compatible way?
