Feature request: use system properties by default for proxy settings #813
Description
I have a use case where I need to control whether or not to use a proxy using system properties, without having access to the code.
If org.htmlunit.HttpWebConnection#createHttpClientBuilder() set builder.useSystemProperties(); ("Use system properties when creating and configuring default implementations") this works.
This sets more than just proxy config according to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1128 it sets:
ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm
javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType
javax.net.ssl.trustStore
javax.net.ssl.trustStoreProvider
javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword
java.home
ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType
javax.net.ssl.keyStore
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreProvider
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
http.proxyHost
http.proxyPort
http.nonProxyHosts
http.keepAlive
http.maxConnections
Personally I would like this on by default in HtmlUnit. But having a config option to set this would be useful too.

just thinking about having our own properties and an similar implementation as in the http client. To be independent from the HttpClient - but maybe this is a bit overcomplicated.

Sorry for being not that responsive during the last days - was on a workshop and will be out for two more weeks to have a holiday break. Afterwards we can work together to get this finally done.
