Description
SOCKS proxies are not currently supported.
It looks like there's a couple of issues with this though:
- Testing will be a pain. We can handle this like the HTTP proxy support, by worrying about that later.
- Sockets doesn't support SOCKS natively, so we'll have to write our own handling for this (see HTTP_Request2's adapter for reference)
(Split from #95)

Research direction
Start by reading the existing HTTP proxy support and the HTTP_Request2 SOCKS5.php adapter linked in the issue. Determine how SOCKS handling should fit the library's proxy flow; done means SOCKS proxy requests work, with testing addressed as described by the issue.
