Description

Please allow to chain shadowsocks server to another socks proxy.

For example user wants to connect to a cloudflare Warp gateway (which is in socks5 proxy mode) but to have his side using shadowsocks (on windows).
Currently shadowsocks-windows do not allow to configure tunnel protocol. This prevents such scheme.

So it would allow to use usual shadowsocks windows client (as a socks proxy) that connects as normal to a remote ssserver but that ssserver redirects (not decoded socks5 traffic) to a local warp-server socks5 port.

Research direction

Start by locating ssserver's tunnel protocol handling and the configuration path for proxy chaining. Compare the requested behavior with existing SOCKS5 handling, including forwarding undecoded traffic to a local Warp SOCKS5 port. Done means a Shadowsocks client can connect through ssserver and have the server chain the connection to that SOCKS5 endpoint.
