- Adds support for running a SOCKS5 proxy over an SSH connection. This can
be configured by using `--proxyServer ssh://user@host[:port]` config and
also passing an `--sshProxyPrivateKeyFile <private key file>` file param
and an optional `--sshProxyKnownHostsFile <public host key file>`file
param. The key files are expected to be mounted as volumes into the
crawler.
- Same arguments are also available for create-login-profile
- The proxy config uses autossh to establish a more robust connection, and
also waits until a connection can be established before proceeding.
- Docs are updated to include a new 'Crawling with Proxies' page in the user guide
- Tests are updated to include crawling through an SSH proxy running locally.

fixes#587
The proxy env vars PROXY_HOST and PROXY_PORT were being ignored, as they
were hardcoded to obsolete values in the Dockerfile.
Proxy settings can now be set, in order of precedence via:
- --proxyServer cli flag
- PROXY_SERVER env var
- PROXY_HOST and PROXY_PORT env vars, which set an HTTP proxy server
only (for backwards compatibility with 0.12.x)
The --proxyServer / PROXY_SERVER settings are passed to the browser via
the --proxy-server flag.
AsyncFetcher / direct fetch also supports HTTP and SOCKS5 proxying.
Supported proxies are: HTTP no auth, SOCKS5 no auth, SOCKS5 with auth
(supported in Brave, but not Chrome!)
