Issue Description
I am experiencing a problem with the auto update feature in PS extension for VSCode.
Expected Behaviour
If http.proxy and/or https.proxy is configured in any settings.json, the same proxy should be used with the Invoke-RestMethod -proxy
Actual Behaviour
Invoke-Restmethod with no -proxy will cause the auto update to fail as it can't download the installer.
Attached Logs
No logs, as I manually upgraded before saving them but you can clearly see what is happening in console that there is no -proxy etc.

Research direction
Start by locating the extension's auto-update path and its Invoke-RestMethod call, then inspect how http.proxy and https.proxy from settings.json are exposed. Verify that the updater uses the configured proxy when downloading the installer, and confirm the update succeeds in a proxied environment.
