Description

Right now it's not possible to create proxies from the cli with an initially disabled state, while it is possible with CURL and I believe most of the clients.

This is a relatively niche use-case, but it was brought up here: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/issues/148#issuecomment-267102543
Should be easy to add in an upcoming version.

Research direction

Start at the CLI command that creates proxies and compare its available options with the existing CURL behavior for initially disabled proxies. Done means the CLI accepts a -disabled flag when creating a proxy and produces the same disabled initial state.
