Clarify that proxy settings are only applied to extensions

[stratic-dev]

So for me to be able to get access to the extension library I need to use the command code --proxy-server="192.168.80.3:8080;"

My settings.xml does not seem to apply anything but includes the following just to make my case. That proxy settings in the xml do not apply.

my settings.xml { "http.systemCertificates": false, "http.proxySupport": "off", "http.proxyStrictSSL": false

}

Noticed this command is not available any more

[me@here ~]$ code --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:9999"
Option 'proxy-server' is unknown. Ignoring.

# ssh socks proxy before I run the above
ssh -CD 9999 <server ip>

[stratic-dev]

it says it is not available but actually does something because I can get the extensions to load into the ide

We need to clarify that the settings only apply to extensions. Will update the settings description.
