Proxies

The issue mentioned above is dealing with proxies: https://github.com/chanzuckerberg/cellxgene-census/issues/1256

Basically, telling users that they need to set these variables in their tiledb context/ config:

config = {
    "vfs.s3.proxy_host": ..., "vfs.s3.proxy_port": ...
}

And that this can manifest as a TimeOutError.

Ideally we could also point to some tiledbsoma/ tiledb docs for how to pass around contexts/ configuration and what configuration is available.
