HTTP and SOCKS proxy support

Please describe the feature requested.

Add support for HTTP and SOCKS proxy. 
Preferable this should be implemented for all the different implementations of 
LowLevelHttpTransport (UrlFetchTransport, ApacheHttpTransport and 
NetHttpTransport).

Currently HttpTransport is implemented using a static LowLevelHttpTransport. 
This will only allow to set a global proxy for all the instances of 
HttpTransport.
However, it would be nice to be able to set a different proxy for each instance.

See also, which has a pretty reasonable design:

The 1.3 branch of the library is better designed for this since we got rid of 
the global variables.
