Set proxy settings for chef-solo provisioning #6

Hi,

I'am not sure if this his the good place to ask for this feature, but it will really help to speed up testing if we can set proxy_settings for the chef-solo to be run.

There is some support for this in Test Kitchen proper. If you set http_proxy and/or https_proxy in a driver_config: block, these environment variables will be in the remote SSH commands' environment. Usually this covers curl, wget, chef, apt, and a few others.

For example:

---
driver_plugin: vagrant
driver_config:
  http_proxy: http://10.0.0.1:8123
  https_proxy: https://10.0.0.1:8123

Note that you'd need to have an HTTP caching proxy server on that host and port. I've run a local polipo instance on my workstation and used the public IP address of it (stuck in a .kitchen.local.yml file to override defaults).

Hope this helps!
