http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication

Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them
in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one
way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since
proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security
sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable.

If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the
credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials
properly.

For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy
environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl.
Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and
environment variables.
