Username and password support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would love to see username and password support for the different proxies. 
It's almost essential for the serius proxies, so I think it's a must-have 
killer feature.

Urgency: Medium

Importance: High

Password support is not possible with the Chrome proxy API.

It's not supporting it, but there are working workarounds and solutions in the 
store - like the ones that are used by unblocking services, but there is a 
standalone app that is achiving this - but it only supports one proxy (not 
because of the techninal limitation - it's just they only made it for one.

Sorry... I totally forgot to merge this issue into Issue #173. But I bring good 
news.

Password protected proxies are now supported in 2.x.
