WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

IIUC, the --proxy CLI parameter can be enabled by an admin with winget settings --enable ProxyCommandLineOptions, but only for theirselves; this makes it hard to make user-local installs for non-admin users.

While it is indeed advisable to require privilege to choose a proxy to use, it does not weaken security assumptions to allow non-admin accounts to apply the proxy an admin have already configured.
