doc: mention that proxies must be completely transparent
We already document in the FAQ that proxies must be completely transparent and not modify the request or response in any way, but add similar documentation to the http.proxy entry. We know that while the FAQ is very useful, users sometimes are less likely to read in favor of the documentation specific to an option or command, so adding it in both places will help users be adequately informed.
