Add proxy support

[mamyn0va]

Would it be possible to add a proxy arg to allow the CLI to work behind a corporate proxy?

Can you explain?

There's way to do that, you can set proxy before running this cli app.

export the below variables in terminal

export http_proxy='http://proxyServerSddress:proxyPort'    
export https_proxy='https://proxyServerSddress:proxyPort'

Then run devtocli

devto

and use the following commands to disable proxy

unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy

My term already has proxy vars but the CLI fails with the following error:

Node's built in libraries don't automatically respect the *_proxy environment variables. It's something we have to deal with a lot at one enterprise customer I deal with.

I hope to have a PR up for this before too long, just need to test it on a system that requires a proxy.

[mamyn0va]

I can test your PR if you want.

@mamyn0va, please do. I just put up the PR

[mamyn0va]

I'll do it tomorrow, thanks.
