Comment:

 (In [88714ca54173f04271339337e9135ca9146c12e9]):[[BR]]
 proxy: Use account proxy when making standalone SOCKS5 connections.

 This ends up being potentially weird in that you may end up tunnelling a
 SOCKS5 proxy connection though another SOCKS5 proxy.

 It may mean that non-IBB file xmpp transfers work more consistently on
 restricted networks, but may make the situation worse some situations e.g.
 when a proxy is required to connect to the xmpp server, but you want to
 send
 a file to someone on your local network.

 What it does do though is to allow you to prevent the streamhost from
 knowing
 where you're connecting from.

 Fixes #13928
