Subject: [PATCH 1/2] installer: handle network proxy in systemd install

If a network proxy configuration is detected, setup an override
systemd unit file for nix-daemon service with the non-empty
proxy variables.

Proxy detection is performed by looking for http/https/ftp proxy and no
proxy variables in user environment
