that would cause the value previously used for `ENVVAR` to change. The
order in the enum isn't at all correlated with the order of the items
displayed in the GUI, the selection is determined by value, not by order.

disk (in accounts.xml) as text after any proxy switch (once the callback
is called). So the int value only matters at run time and is internal to
pidgin, isn't it?
It does matter because it is an API breakage - any plugin that was
compiled against an old version of libpurple that used
"PURPLE_PROXY_USE_ENVVAR" would map to the TOR value on a newer libpurple.
