Description
### Expected Behaviour
JWT Auth works with custom http agent to support eg. proxy servers or custom dns resolving
### Actual Behaviour
JWT uses node-fetch without any means to configure the http agent
### Description
Some IT environments have additional requirements such as forcing users to use a http proxy with authentication or having other custom requirements. For this node-fetch foresees passing in an `agent` option, that allows custom network handling. See https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch#custom-agent https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_agent .
I propose extending the options of auth to allow setting an agent.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the node-fetch call used by JWT Auth and the options passed into it; review the linked node-fetch custom-agent guidance first. Done when the auth options expose an agent and JWT requests use it for proxy or custom-DNS setups, with the project's relevant checks passing.
