[Feature Request] Save Proxy Settings

[paolodongilli]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be very helpful to be able to save the proxy settings. All of our schools have a proxy server and users need to add their proxy credentials every time they open OpenBoard. We use the Linux version of OpenBoard.

Describe the solution you'd like
The credentials are saved in the settings (keyring).

Describe alternatives you've considered
At least the username is saved and when you open OpenBoard the password is asked automatically.

Additional context
Debian-based version of OpenBoard.

It should save them, but due to a bug you have to set in your config

CredentialsPersistence=true
UserEMail=

otherwise all stored passwords are removed as UserEmail is empty.

This leads me to my second point. OpenBoard does not and cannot guarantee any safe and/or secure credential storage. See also #1021 and #1023. The first is a discussion which also applies to the proxy credentials, the latter removes saving the proxy credentials (making the current behaviour intentional).
