Allow providing credentials to HTTPS_PROXY (#9657)
Addresses https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/issues/70

This PR causes `ProxyAgent` to attempt to extract credentials from an `HTTPS_PROXY` env var. If credentials are found, a `Proxy-Authorization` header ([details](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Proxy-Authorization)) is sent to the proxy server to authenticate against it. The headers are *not* passed to the remote server.

Also added some type hints.

Support for routing outbound HTTP requests via a proxy (#6239)
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.
