Connect to MongoDB via socks5 proxy

[SMFloris]

How would I be able to connect to MongoDB via a socks5 proxy in PHP?

I noticed that Java and Kotlin already have a way to do this. Wondering if PHP also has a way.

This would vastly simplify our setup which currently uses custom dns servers + haproxy in order to proxy traffic to mongo atlas.

We plan to add support for Socks5 proxy later this year. You can watch PHPC-2017 for updates.
