Title: Add simple SOCKS5 mode

Adds a new mode in which, instead of looking for a proxychains.conf file, it just sets up a single-hop chain to a SOCKS5 proxy on localhost. This is particularly useful for routing traffic through an OpenSSH SOCK5 proxy. (See the added example in the README).

Environment variable name is PROXYCHAINS_SOCKS5. The value is the port number on localhost on which the proxy is listening. Optionally, the env var PROXYCHAINS_DNS (if set at all) will route DNS queries through that port, too.
