Drop ProxyMan support for applications using `http_proxy` environment variable

The major motivation behind creating ProxyMan was handling the cases when applications were not able to function properly, primarily due to

  • Not using http_proxy environment variable.
  • Not being launched from shell, so variables are set.
  • Not using system's proxy settings (depending on OS).

However, as of now, almost all tools like git, npm, yarn (#46 ), bower (#40 ), maven (#47 ), etc. work well with http_proxy, the need to configure them manually becomes insignificant. There's just one kind of use case where you'd require a different proxy for git and http_proxy, which is a very rare use-case.

I would like to have feedback on if there shall be cleanup in ProxyMan to expect applications to pick up http_proxy as most of them do.
