Add ability to proxy the requests made by ntfy allowing us to pass the connection through Tor and I2P and hide our IP from the instance.

A good example for that is Tusky which added Proxy Support in 2017.

This way people can use Orbot to torify traffic.

It's also beneficial in cases where one needs to use a Proxy [i.e. Corporate Networks] to bypass blocks of HTTPS and other non-DPI-able traffic. (Yes, those networks do exist and no, I cannot elaborate any further.

I am happy to accept PRs to support this, but I'll likely never implement this myself.
