Add proxy support for QtWebEngine and Qt 5.7.1

This used to give us crashes in libproxy:
https://github.com/libproxy/libproxy/issues/45
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56852

However, trying again with Qt 5.7.1 on Debian and from PyPI, this doesn't happen
anymore, so it was probably something with how Archlinux handled things.

See #2082, #2775.
