Indiana Holmes 8f012402a6 Harden Windows Server compatibility and system-wide proxy.
Fix exit-IP checks for HTTP-only proxies, apply proxy via WinINet Connections blob and WinHTTP, improve VPN detection on legacy Server, add SOCKS5 host:port:user:pass exit parsing, and add win_compat probe for PowerShell 2.0 hosts.

"""Set / clear the Windows system-wide HTTP proxy.
Three layers get configured so the proxy actually applies system-wide:
1. ``HKCU\\\\Internet Settings`` — simple values WinINet reads first
2. ``Internet Settings\\Connections\\DefaultConnectionSettings`` binary blob —
overrides #1 for any process that opens the per-connection structure. On
enterprise images and Windows Server boxes this stale blob is the usual
reason "chain says connected but the browser still leaks direct".
3. ``netsh winhttp set proxy`` — covers .NET, Windows Update, many
services and headless browser components that bypass WinINet.
Conflicting overrides (``AutoConfigURL`` / ``AutoDetect`` WPAD) are wiped on
engage and restored to "off" on disengage.
