[Request]: Add Proxy Support #4396

Description

@libTSC

Tell us the problem or your need

It is a real hassle to setup bottles in regions where internet access is unstable or restricted, and it has been keeping a lot of users out of the app.

It has been a common knowledge that connections to GitHub(which currently hosts the components that's being fetched by bottles on initial startup) is really slow and unstable in certain regions. And while there are tools like proxychains(https://github.com/haad/proxychains) around, for some reason bottles doesn't work with it well and sometimes simply refuses to download.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add an option to download via proxy and add more verbose download logs so the user can diagnose downloading problems more conveniently.

Other solutions?

Using Proxychains(https://github.com/haad/proxychains)..
Configuring TUN Mode(virtual adapter that routes to the proxy server).
