Title: Socks support

Added support for SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP proxies.
Added options to network connect dialog box.
Updated SimpleConfig to handle new default settings when users update version.

Tested here with ssh in SOCKS tunnel mode. Worked fine.
Tested with free public HTTP proxy. Worked but was less reliable upon proxy errors and could not recuperate well.

May need more testing before merging.
