Support HTTP Proxy and HTTPS S3 Endpoint Configuration

Support HTTP proxy and HTTPS S3 endpoint configuration. #16861 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Support for configuring HTTP proxy and HTTPS endpoints for S3 storage in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to connect to S3 storage through an HTTP proxy and to use HTTPS endpoints for S3-compatible services. It solves connectivity issues in network environments requiring proxy usage and improves security by allowing HTTPS communication with S3 storage.

How to use it

Users can configure the HTTP proxy and set HTTPS S3 endpoints in the storage configuration files or connection settings. This involves specifying the proxy server details and using HTTPS URLs for S3 endpoints in relevant ClickHouse configuration sections.
