PR 2073 / Avoid using sensitive information (proxy-auth) on the command line (issue #2060)

[Gaëtan Frenoy <gaetan () frenoy net>]

Dear committers,

As suggested in the CONTRIBUTING[1] document, here is a short mail to 
let you know that PR2073[2] has been submitted on GitHub.

This PR implements a new feature discussed in issue #2060[3] :

One can now optionally use the environment variable NCAT_PROXY_AUTH to 
specify SOCKS5 proxy credentials.
This reduces the risk of the credentials being captured in process logs.
Note that option --proxy-auth takes precedence.

Thanks for your help and collaboration,
