### Changes proposed in this PR
- Add support for the `no_proxy` and `NO_PROXY` environment variables
- Internally rely on urllib's [`proxy_bypass_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2519))
- Extract env variables using urllib's `getproxies`/[`getproxies_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2488)) which supports lowercase + uppercase, preferring lowercase, except for `HTTP_PROXY` in a CGI environment
This does contain behaviour changes for consumers so making sure these are called out:
- `no_proxy`/`NO_PROXY` is now respected
- lowercase `https_proxy` is now allowed and taken over `HTTPS_PROXY`
Related to #9306 which also uses `ProxyAgent`

* Remove `on_timeout_cancel` from `timeout_deferred`
The `on_timeout_cancel` param to `timeout_deferred` wasn't always called on a
timeout (in particular if the canceller raised an exception), so it was
unreliable. It was also only used in one place, and to be honest it's easier to
do what it does a different way.
* Fix handling of connection timeouts in outgoing http requests
Turns out that if we get a timeout during connection, then a different
exception is raised, which wasn't always handled correctly.
To fix it, catch the exception in SimpleHttpClient and turn it into a
RequestTimedOutError (which is already a documented exception).
Also add a description to RequestTimedOutError so that we can see which stage
it failed at.
* Fix incorrect handling of timeouts reading federation responses
This was trapping the wrong sort of TimeoutError, so was never being hit.
The effect was relatively minor, but we should fix this so that it does the
expected thing.
* Fix inconsistent handling of `timeout` param between methods
`get_json`, `put_json` and `delete_json` were applying a different timeout to
the response body to `post_json`; bring them in line and test.

The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
