#11160 new enhancement
"-http_proxy" authentication support

Description
Summary of the bug:
The current version of ffmpeg cannot use an HTTP proxy that requires username and password authentication.
After examining the source code, the reason is that the auth_type of the proxy cannot be assigned by default.
(libavformat/http.c:2137 s->proxy_auth_state)
I think a parameter should be added, such as proxy_auth_type.
How to reproduce:
% ffmpeg -loglevel debug -http_proxy http://user:pwd@127.0.0.1:1234 -i "https://abc.abc" output.mp4 ffmpeg version v6.1.1 built on Apple clang

There are two (or more?) authentication types.
It is impossible to determine which one to use through the URI?

͏ Are they all request header based?

͏ Maybe the proper fix is not new option:
