Add support for SOCKS5 proxies #1242

Currently, only HTTP proxy are supported and there's no way (to my knowledge) to make spotifyd work over an SSH proxy. Workaround also don't work, see https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/issues/1241

Unfortunately, the different libraries we rely on don't support different proxy kinds. In particular, the proxy library that librespot uses, is quite restrictive in the types it can handle, IIRC. So we should probably work on the workaround issues, since we won't be able to easily fix our dependencies.
