Only use system proxy if QNetworkProxy::useSystemConfiguration() says so
This allows users to disable _any_ proxy globally by calling QNetworkProxy::setUseSystemConfiguration(false). Change-Id: If6f5d978316b603c53520512dac1eac57ab6c176 Reviewed-by: Allan Sandfeld Jensen <allan.jensen@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Leena Miettinen <riitta-leena.miettinen@qt.io>

\section1 Proxy Support
- If QNetworkProxy::applicationProxy is set, it will also be used for Qt WebEngine. Otherwise,
- Qt WebEngine automatically picks up the proxy configuration from OS X and Windows. On Linux,
- it acknowledges settings from KDE and Gnome.
+ Qt WebEngine uses the proxy settings from \l{Qt Network}. If
+ QNetworkProxy::applicationProxy is set, it will also be used for Qt WebEngine, and if
+ QNetworkProxy::usesSystemConfiguration() is enabled, the proxy settings are automatically
+ retrieved from the system. Settings from an installed QNetworkProxyFactory will be ignored
+ though.
If a proxy requires authentication, QWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticationRequired is emitted.
For Qt Quick, a dialog is shown.
