[icedtea-web] RFC: add support in netx for using proxy settings from browser

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch makes netx (not plugin) behave correctly (or at least 
slightly better) when deployment.proxy.type is set to 3 (for 
PROXY_TYPE_BROWSER).

With this patch, netx will parse the firefox preferences file to figure 
out the browser's settings and use that when trying to figure out the 
proxy to use for accessing a given URI.

Similar to JNLPProxySelector, this class can not handle PAC files just 
yet (though I am working on that).

Any thoughts or comments?

Cheers,
Omair
