Please review this patch that removes the specification of system properties that are no longer used:
- `http.auth.digest.cnonceRepeat` system property was removed in JDK 5
- `java.net.socks.username` and `java.net.socks.password` were never available as system properties; they were available as user preferences. The support for these preferences was removed in JDK 7.

Additionally I updated the SOCKS proxy specification to match the user guide, and added the information that SOCKS proxies are only used by java.net TCP connections; the NIO SocketChannel does not support SOCKS proxies.
