[Development] QtNetwork: using system proxy by default

[Peter Hartmann]

What I forgot to say in my first mail:
We would want to use that in 4.8, where we don't want to change the 
default behaviour anyhow. How about option 3 below, where the default 
can be set to "yes" in Qt5 globally or per platform once we are 
confident it works?
The benefit of that option is that it can be easily backported to 4.8 
and would not change behaviour, but whoever wants to use it can opt-in.
