retitle 452970 implement HTTP proxy support

retitle -1 do not block UI on network sockets
severity -1 normal
retitle -2 beep-media-player-2-bin: please honour signals when waiting on 
network IO
retitle -3 please make splash less all-encompassing
thanks

Having done some reading, I thought it best to split out my
bug into the constituent components.

First up, no HTTP proxy support. This is the core issue so
I think that this report should reflect that.

Next, irrespective of the fact that the HTTP transactions
are failing due to the lack of proxy support, this
shouldn't block the UI. I may not actually want to play
streams or use last.fm, yet this will block by default on
first run. (I haven't confirmed but don't think it's
possible to get it to stop probing)

Next, please honour the TERM signal when blocking on
network ports (I'm not that familiar with network IO; maybe
async is needed?)

Finally, can the splash be made a little less obtrusive?
Totally occluding the desktop is a real pain, especially
when startup is delayed so much.
