Description

layer-basic fails to install python_packages (see [1]) behind a proxy because pip doesn't have information to use said proxy (even if juju-https-proxy model parameter is configured).

I think proxy env vars should be parsed (see [4] for charm-helpers approach) and HTTPS_PROXY value used in `$HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf` (see [2] and [3]).

> [global]
> proxy = http://proxy_host:proxy_port/

I don't know if the expected approach is to use `exec.d` but I think it should be transparent for a user of a charm that is trying to deploy it on a restricted environment.

Thank you.
