[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] utils/docker-run: propagate user's proxy settings

[yann.morin at orange.com]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin at orange.com>

When dealing in enterprise-grade networks, it is more often than not the
case that the wider internet is unreachable but through proxies.

There is a usual set of variables that users can set in the environment
to point various tools (curl, git...) to use those proxies.

Propagate those variables inside the container.

Note that there are a few tools (e.g. cvs, svn) that may not recognise
those variables; instead, they require custom setup that is too complex
to handle, so is left as an exercise to interested parties.

Similarly, there exists another type of proxy, socks4 or socks5, that
also requires custom setup that is not trivial to replicate in a
container, so is also left out as an exrcise for interested parties.

In the large majority of cases, those few variables are enough to Make
Things Work™.
