Netty HTTP Proxy Support

[millems]

The Apache HTTP implementation supports proxy configuration, but Netty does not. This feature should be added to Netty.

This is a major issue for us adopting it.

[danieladams456]

We want to use Spring Boot Webflux to build reactive services. Currently will have to wrap SDK calls in their own separate thread pools rather than just using Netty all the way through.

Spring Boot lets you inject a Reactor Netty HttpClient, but I assume you all are using Netty directly instead of Reactor Netty so that wouldn't be available.
