Update the proxying documentation to reflect support for HTTP and HTTPS proxies in addition to SOCKS5.

The documentation now describes:

  • Use of http:// and https:// proxy URLs via the all_proxy environment variable
  • Embedded basic authentication in proxy URLs
  • A warning when credentials are sent over cleartext HTTP proxies
  • Limitations of HTTP(S) proxies (outbound TCP only)
