More robust win32 IE proxy settings detection using winhttp. This essentially parses the same registry entries, but we don't have to do the grunt work and it seems to work better. This gives us a start to apply proxy bypass support and autoconfig via PAC file when we can change the API in 3.0.0. I'd also like to change this so we can parse a SOCKS proxy setting and not just fill in the environment variables.
