[Feature] setting a proxy support

[huozhong-in]

setting proxy required.
Discord will check for new versions when it starts up. If you are behind a firewall, this will usually fail and affect normal usage. Please let betterdiscord support setting a proxy server for discord.

Describe the feature you'd like
http / https /socks5 protocol

fail history
/Applications/Discord.app/Contents/MacOS/Discord --proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:7890
is invalid.

env http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:7890" https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:7890" "/Applications/Discord.app/Contents/MacOS/Discord" --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:7890"

You could start it with Proxy-Chains to achieve this function as well.

Any plans to implement this?

I'm still unsure whether to add this, it feels a bit out of scope for BD. I'm also unsure that we can reliably do this as we are only called after Discord has started.

@Strencher do you know if this is even possible with our current injection?

only inject http proxy on windows

For future self, this (in theory) can be added with electron commandline if we happen to run early enough. This will need some testing.
