Kyle Evans c44be5aa0a fetch(3): Add SOCKS5 support
This change adds SOCKS5 support to the library fetch(3) and updates the man
page.

Details: Within the fetch_connect() function, fetch(3) checks if the
SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable is set. If so, it connects to this host
rather than the end-host. It then initializes the SOCKS5 connection in
accordance with RFC 1928 and returns the resulting conn_t (file descriptor)
for usage by the regular FTP/HTTP handlers.

Design Decision: This change defaults all DNS resolutions through the proxy
by sending all IPs as hostnames. Going forward, another feature might be to
create another environmental variable to toggle resolutions through the
proxy or not..

One may set the SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable in any of the formats:

SOCKS5_PROXY=proxy.example.com
SOCKS5_PROXY=proxy.example.com:1080
SOCKS5_PROXY=192.0.2.0
SOCKS5_PROXY=198.51.100.0:1080
SOCKS5_PROXY=[2001:db8::1]
SOCKS5_PROXY=[2001:db8::2]:1080

Then perform a request with fetch(1).

(note by kevans)
I've since been informed that Void Linux/xbps has a fork of libfetch that
also implements SOCKS5. I may compare/contrast the two in the mid-to-near
future.
