What does this PR do?

Adds a new config option to enable proxying of outgoing (to search engines) requests.

Why is this change important?

It allows for greater privacy of single-user/selfhosted instances by proxying requests via e.g. Tor.

How to test this PR locally?

  1. Choose a proxy, e.g. tor
  2. Set the proxy config value e.g.: proxy = "socks5h:https://172.0.0.1:9050"
  3. Run websurfx
