Description
It makes sense to set HTTP_PROXY and/or HTTPS_PROXY on the language server if http.proxy is set in Code. Unfortunately, we'd probably need a heuristic to pick between the two (HTTP_PROXY is only supposed to be used for non-HTTPS connections, IIUI).

Research direction
Start by tracing how Code's http.proxy setting reaches the language server and review the related discussion in #4174. Determine how proxy environment variables should be selected for HTTP and HTTPS connections; done means the configured proxy is passed through with covered behavior for both connection types.
